Fill a decorating bag with medium consistency icing and use a large round tip, like tip 12. Or simply use the coupler without mounting a tip.
 
Filling the Layers1. Starting with the bottom layer, leveled or torted side up, create a dam or circle of icing just inside the edge of the cake. Creating a dam will prevent filling from seeping out when other layers are placed on top. To create the dam, squeeze a circle about 3/4 in. high and 1/4 in. from the outside edge.
 
Filling the Layers2. Fill the dam with your choice of filling.
 
Filling the Layers3. Place the next layer on top, making sure it is level. The weight of the layer will cause the circle of icing to expand just right. Repeat until all layers, except the top, are assembled. Place the top layer, leveled side down, so the top of the cake is perfectly smooth and level.
