Russian honey cake

I'm not sure why I decided it will be fun to try to bake a proper cake for the first time in my life with a help of a toddler.
Spreading the cream
I ended up feeling rather stressed, the kitchen was covered in flour, but the 15 Layer Russian Honey Cake turned out OK (even though ours has only 8 layers).
Cake
A Russian food blogger calls a very similar cake "younger simpler brother of the traditional honey cake", but after reading her traditional recipe (in Russian) I doubt I'll find enough courage to try making it. Yet, it is my favourite cake, so maybe...

Ooh, I have had this at my friend Olga's house. But, have never attempted to make. Yours looks great!

P.S. Finally bought our tickets to London, so I'll have to email you the details so we can plan a get-together.
