To assemble the 3 layers of mud cake, decide which colour goes on the base. Spread a little frosting onto the cake stand you will use and place the first layer on to it. Press down.
Pipe enough of the frosting on the first layer and spread to create 1 cm thick layer to the edges. Sprinkle with a few of the chopped candy canes. Set it in the fridge for 10 minutes. Top with the second layer and repeat. Place the final layer on top and use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake.
Decorate the bottom of the cake with crushed candy canes and garnish as you wish on top of the cake.
Merry Christmas!
