No stupid questions, Marianne. We recommend slicing the top of the cake off to give you a level surface. You can then put a layer of filling or frosting on top of the layer and repeat. You can crumble up the top layer of cake and use it as cake crumbs or just eat it! Baker's treat. If you'd like to see full instructions on how to assemble and frost a layer cake, use this article on our blog. It should clear up any lingering questions. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
