   Cake assembly: As soon as the cake layers are chilled you can assembly the cake. Cut strawberries in stripes. Add 1/3 of the buttercream on to the first cake layer. Spread some strawberry stripes on the buttercream and add the second cake layer on top. Spread 1/3 of the buttercream and add the third cake layer on top - if you have four cake layers spread only 1/4 of the buttercream between each layer. Spread the remaining buttercream on the last layer and decorate with the remaining strawberries and some rosemary sprigs if you like. Keep in fridge until you eat it.
