Did you make 3 separate cakes or did you cut a very large cake into thirds? that might have something to do with it?
I have just started a blog, and the first cake I baked was a bit of a fail, but it tasted good and that’s all the counts right?

Your cake looks delicious!! I can’t wait to try it. To make frosting the cake easier put the pieces in the freezer for 15-20mins. Helps with the crumbs and the cake looking more finished. Do a thin layer of frosting around the cake first. Let is set up at room temp or stick in the fridg / freezer for a few mins. Then finish frosting. Makes a huge difference. Another option with the filling is to scoop some of the center out of the bottom cake so it pools a bit. Almost like the big top cupcakes ( see them on tv sometimes). Hope that helps a little and have fun!

I love Sweetapolita!! Rosie has some great recipes. Your ideas of how to make it better next go around make sense, smaller layers with a touch more middle would be good, alternately a lighter cake makes sense also.
I bet it tasted divine!

One tip (I am no expert though!) – pipe a line of frosting on the outside edge of the cake before you put in the filling. It helps to block it from oozing out the sides.
