# She moistened the cake using simple syrup. To smoothen the edges, she used Italian Meringue buttercream and spread all over it.

# Once cooled, she put another layer of buttercream on it. For replicating brain tissues, Gampp has used flesh-colored fondant, which is also used to create cerebellum stuck on the bottom of the cake.

# After covering it with fondant tissues, Gampp gave it a finishing touch by soaking with raspberry jam. According to Yolanda Gampp, covering it with jam helps in attaining a fresh look.
