12. On the serving plate used for presenting the cake, place two rectangular strips of paper so they can be carefully removed after decorating the cake. Place the first cake layer. I prefer moist sponge cakes, so I always soak them, but this step is optional. If desired, I soak them with whatever I have on hand: sugar syrup, alcohol, or jam.
