... looking its best. My initial thought would be that the coffee icing on the top would stick firmly to the clear plastic wrapper when it was first opened and the whole cake would then in turn fall apart. I was quite wrong, the layered cake lazes in a greaseproof paper base and once the plastic covering has been taken off it remains intact.
