- On your most lopsided cake top, gently shave off enough of the top to allow the other to sit evenly and stable upon it.
- On the plate you intend to serve your cake upon, place the bottom tier down and gently smear some frosting on the top you've just shaved. Place the top tier on it and frost the second top tier as well. Frost the sides evenly and fill in the gap between the two tiers.
- Gather a handful of pecan slivers and gently, but firmly, pack them on to the sides of your cake. Let the excess pecans fall to the bottom of your serving tray.
