  • 5
    Place 1 cooled cake layer bottom side up on serving plate. Frost top. Top with second cake layer bottom side down. Frost sides and top of cake. Garnish with cinnamon sticks.

  • Use a serrated bread knife to cut the domed tops off of each cake so the final product is flat and even.
  • For a clean, frosting-free serving plate, place two pieces of waxed paper side by side—one slightly overlapping the other—on a serving plate. Place the first cake on top. When you’re done frosting the whole cake, carefully pull out the waxed paper pieces from underneath the cake.
