My first basket weave cake

I had tons of problems with this cake. I could not level it to save my life and when I added the filling, I added to much and the top layer kept sliding off, It was a yellow cake filled with pistachio pudding, the pudding kept seeping out onto the white buttercream icing. I was more than happy to cover it up with a basket weave technique.

see, its not so bad now.







It had like a 2 inch layer of icing! The sucker was heavy.
