If you make this into a two layer cake you may want to cut
back on the frosting recipe. If you make the 4 layers, you’ll have enough
frosting for a thin layer of filling between each layer and a thin layer on the
outside of the cannoli cake.
I didn’t have much frosting left for piping. If you want to
do a lot of piping or have a thicker layer, you may want to make
extra frosting.
