Looks luscious! At a restaurant I frequent the cook uses drinking
straws cut to length to keep multiple layers from sliding apart. Cut
just short of the height of the filled but un-iced top of layer of
cake they are not visible. They do a great job of keeping layers
together, ae large enough to be easily seen and are easily removed if
found in my serving of cake.
