Thanks girls, I'll give the castor sugar a go! I did the buttercream yesterday, but its all coloured (building him a rubix cube cake) so won't look flash in the layers in between! I knew the skewer idea, I did that last week with another cake. Thanks
Hey just a question? are you covering the cake with fondant after the buttercream? If so using cream wont work as cream will need to be refrigerated and you cant put a fondanted cake in the fridge or it will sweat. Just thought id ask.
