1/3 of the syrup. Fill with 1/2 of the Apricot Jam using a pastry
bag and wide tip (1D). Overlay middle layer, brush with 1/3 of
the syrup, and fill with 1/2 of the buttercream. Press on the top
(smooth) layer and brush with remaining syrup. |
| Apply a thin coating of buttercream to hide the
crumbs. Chill for 10-15 minutes until set. |
| Apply top finish covering of buttercream, and smooth.
Bring edges down onto sides and smooth off. Cover sides with toasted
almond slices. |
| With a small star tip and pastry bag apply the last
of buttercream along the top edges forming three shell borders. Chill
to set buttercream. Fill the two open areas with wide tip (1D) ribbon
of apricot jam. |
