Then add several spoonfuls of cream cheese icing, placed in dollops around the wedding cake bottom layer. Using an offset spatula, gently spread the icing over the raspberries, trying to create a level surface. If you have put too much on, you can gently smooth it down over the sides of the layer, but don't worry about getting the sides smooth at this point.

Once you have done this, place the middle layer on top, and repeat the process. Finally, stack the top layer on top of that layer, to create a three-layerd bottom tier of your wedding cake.
