With a layer cake if you think the cake itself is too dry don't think about throwing it away or starting over but rather use a flavoured syrup sprinkled on the cake before you fill it. Most often I will use a simple syrup and then add whatever flavours I want to compliment the cake. My Mother in law's trick is to prick the cake surface with a toothpick so it gets down into the crumb of the cake also. You can use this on whole cakes as well. Happy caking!

How darling are the toads....but can understand the annoyance too. Hope you can get rid of them soon and get back to baking and relaxing in the pool. Poolside cake sounds perfect!

Excited to see what other cakes you've got in line. And congrats on the move...it's not fun, but when it's done, it feels good. We just made the first attempt to make a layer cake following a few well known cake basics. Perhaps you have more advice? Welcome back. Excited to see what other cakes you’ve got in line.
