Melt the chocolate in a water heated bowl. Be careful not to allow any water in the mixture as this will render the chocolate impossible to melt. Use a bowl almost as big as the pot.

Note: If your cake bottoms are different in size, you need to divide the fillings accordingly. If not, divide the fillings in half.

Add half of one filling and top with a cake bottom. It is not important which filling you begin with.

Next day, take the cakes out of the springform tins and spread the softened butter creme on top and sides. It is easier if you place the cakes on the serving trays at this step.

It is time to make the fondant. Put 100 g. of marshmallows in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of water. Cook it in a microwave for about 1 minute at the highest watts possible.

Warning: The marshmallows rise A LOT when cooked, so watch out! Turn off the microwave as soon as the marshmallows start rising. Also, they burn like napalm so be careful when handling.

Mix in 400 g. of icing sugar little by little while stirring. Once the fondant is dense enough to mould, dust the table with icing sugar, take the fondant out of the bowl and make a pizza-like pie.

Tip: You can put the fondant on a plate and cook it in the microwave for about 20 seconds if it gets too hard to stretch.

Carefully place the fondant on the cake. Cut off excess fondant. Fit the fondant using any flat item you have.

Decorate the cake and make another batch of fondant for the other cake. We cut a hole in the bottom cake in order to fit it in the rack.
