Top Tier is dark chocolate cake filled with dark chocolate buttercream, bottom tier is lemon chiffon cake filled with lemon curd buttercream. All coverings and decorations are fondant with the exception of the real ribbon trim on the bottom. Oddly enough both tiers are level but the side of the top tier was not straight giving the cake a crooked appearance...frustrated me all day long since I didn't notice it till after stacking. But this was for my grandaughters 1st birthday and everyone loved it.
