This is my first tiered cake - and my first wedding cake.. i made it this weekend to see if i could actually make a tiered cake seeing as i have only been baking 3 months and didn't take any classes. - I use the University of Google for everything :-) Bottom layer - chocolate coffee cake with chocolate meringue cream filling, Middle layer - lemon vanilla cake with vanilla meringue filling Top layer - Vanilla cake with banana meringue filling
