Tips for Frosting a 2-layer Cake

Does the second layer have a tendency to slide?
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Try this!
Cool Cake layers Completely; brush off any, and all loose crumbs.
Place one Cake layer up side down on cake platter.
Spread about 1/3 c. of Frosting over the top of first layer.
Place second layer top side up, on top of first layer.
Spread a very thin layer of Frosting on sides of Cake to seal crumbs.
Spread additional Frosting on sides, using upward strokes.
Spread remaining Frosting on top of Cake.
Note:
~~~~~~~~
By letting the Frosted Cake set in the refrigerator,
for a very short time, may also help the Cake & Frosting to set firmly.
