To Assemble and decorate Cake
1. If cakes are domed on top, even out with a knife (Frozen cakes work better here). You can cut both cakes in half so you get 4 evenly layers for a fancy and taller cake; or you can make a 2 layer cake only.
2. Place the first layer on a cake board and using a pastry bag, pipe buttercream around top of the cake and fill the center with the strawberry jam. Repeat the process twice.
3. Spread meringue buttercream all over the cake and then remove all any excess with the icing smoother and take it to the refrigerator about 30 minutes.
4.Bring the cake from the refrigerator and using the offset spatula cover with buttercream again.
5. Begin covercoating cake and smoothing slowly. Be patient. Pay attention to get smooth surfaces and straight edges and freeze again.
6. Divide remaing buttercream in 3 equal batches. Color one batch in red, another one in green and leave the third one white.
7. Use your spatula to start making desired texture. Watch the video for inspiration. Freeze again.
8.Chocolate drip: I use glaze at 30 ° C / 84 ° F. If you don’t have a thermometer, make sure the glaze is at room temperature before using it, in this way the Chocolate will not melt buttercream and you will get a more interesting thickness. Drip it over the center of the cake and take it to the edges using a offset spatula.
9. Use chocolate sails, fresh flowers and fresh strawberries to decorate cake on top.
