This cake is a small version of a cake I’m going to be making for my Godson’s christening this weekend.

I will be in Finland and will be using fresh blueberries but don’t worry if you cannot get fresh ones – I’ve tested with frozen berries and the taste is great.

I very much like the simple design – minimalistic and clean lines are the main characters in Finnish design.

The flavours of this cake are summery and sweet. I truly hope the guests of the little man’s big day will like it. And of course, the real cake topper will display the little man’s name!

Assembling and decorating

1. Once cooled level the cakes by using a cake leveller or a knife.
2. Then cut both cakes into two layers.
3. Place some buttercream on your cake plate and place white chocolate cake layer in middle of the plate. You can moisten the cake and add flavour by spreading some blueberry juice on top.
4. Spread 1/3 of the blueberry buttercream evenly on the cake and top with lemon cake layer, repeat by adding second third of blueberry butter cream and topping with white chocolate cake layer.
5. Spread evenly the remaining blueberry buttercream on the cake.
6. Place your last layer of lemon cake on top and start crumb coating using about a third of the lemon buttercream.
7. Place the crumb coated cake in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, this will reduce crumbs and makes it easier to decorate.
8. Using a spatula spread the remaining buttercream icing smoothing edges as much as possible.
9. Add your white chocolate decorations on the side and cake topper if you are using one.
