First take the spice layer while hot; spread with the filling,
then put the white layer on top; spread again, then the green;

pink on top. [This frosting in between is not to be put in as
a filling, it is only to fasten the layers together to ensure having a
solid cake.] Frost the cake all over with the rest of the frosting
that is left, coloring some of it pink, some chocolate, etc. Wave
alternately shaded strip across the cake, and all around a border
according to taste. This is an excellent cake and will keep for
a long time if put in a cool place.
