Chef notes

- Use crustless white sandwich bread for clean, even layers. - Chill the cake for at least 2–3 hours before decorating so it holds its shape. - Pat the smoked salmon, cucumber, and radishes dry to prevent excess moisture. - Spread the creamy filling evenly between each layer for a neat cut. - For the prettiest finish, arrange the smoked salmon roses, dill, cucumber, and radish slices just before serving. - Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
