After everything is ready, we proceed to the formation of the "Piano" cake. First you need to put a chocolate biscuit. Then spread cream on top of it with a thin layer and put pieces of peach filling. The second layer will be a light biscuit, which should also be cut into two parts. We put cream and peaches on it. The third layer will again be the chocolate cake. We do all the same actions with a dark biscuit. Then we put the last row - this is a light cake.

Decorate the cake as you like. For example, grease the top and sides with the remaining cream, and beautifully lay fresh peaches on top and decorate the edges with whipped cream. You can also melt milk chocolate in a water bath, and then coat the pastries. As a decor, sprinkle it with shavings of white and dark chocolate.
