Here this link is what you want.....
I like to make a white cake (not yellow), and put raspberry and apricot fillings in it. I frost the layer, then add the jams. Always a big hit. But.......check this link out too....
If you haven't checked out Wilton, you should because they have catalogs with great examples at their store and on their website. They probably have a store near you where you can pick up a physical catalog but there's alot on their website too. Sometimes crafty stores that sell cake pans and accessories will carry their catalog as well. They are the cake experts!
sorry, I don't have a pic. this has been in my recipe box for a few years. good luck.....hope you win!

Go to the Martha Stewart web site...look up the chrysanthemum cake. I won a contest with this.
if you make an ice cream cake with orange sorbert and vanilla ice cream with broken up chunks of butterfinger bars and a little extra caramel it is excellent my mom makes it for me every b day
and for fun she leaves a big chunk of butterfinger in it and whoever gets it, gets a prize... usually a dollar but you can make the prize what you want
