• Dunk a biscuit in the coffee and then let excess coffee run of it.
• Place the biscuit side up and stand it in the cream dab you put on the plate.
• Dunk another biscuit in the coffee and then lather one side of it with cream, cement it sideways to the first biscuit you placed down.
• Continue in this fashion until you have created a rim of biscuits, or a long log, whatever you decided.
• Now cover the whole cake in the left over cream.
• All of the biscuits must be well smothered in cream, as the cream has to penetrate the biscuit and soften it.
• Place cake in fridge for at least 4 or 5 hours.
• Just before serving place crumbled flake on the top.
• You don't have to dunk the biscuits in the coffee if you don't want it to have a coffee flavour.
