    Hi!

    So I'm making a cake this weekend and wanted to do something different. It will be a spherical cake so I've a feeling all sponge will be too much. Has anyone ever tried layering sponge on top of biscuit cake? Was it very heavy? Would buttercream icing suit the middle? Or is it all a mad idea and I should stick to what I know? :D

    There is no problem using two different flavours in one cake being iced as one but they should be separated by a cake card, not a layer of buttercream for two totally different type cakes. If both were different sponge flavours it would be ok to do leave out the card and have just buttercream but with chocolate biscuit I would card in middle. If possible then split the top sponge into two layers with buttercream inbetween so it is a complete cake.


    Chocolate biscuit will be fine on the bottom and will give better support to the sponge in a spherical shape. Put a cake card slightly smaller than the cakes between them, fill any little gap with icing and then cover the lot with buttercream/icing.

    When cutting then you would cut down as far as the card then cut all around at card level to separate both layers of cake.
