250 g butter
500g sugar
1/4 cup amul cream

melt the three chocolates and keep them ready, cooled to near room temperature
about 50 g each type of chocolate for each 1/3rd portion
make a crumb coat with the white chocolate buttercream
beat with the white chocolate buttercream
then the milk chocolate buttercream
then the dark chocolate buttercream
fill three piping bags, cut all three at the same level (about 1/4 " to get the same amount of buttercream out.
fill white on top, then milk chocolate, then dark chocolate and go on until the end of the cake
continue until the sides of the cake are covered

Well - learnings from this cake
1. Should have made more buttercream 250 g butter + 500 g icing sugar + 100 g chocolate was not really enough for all the piping required.
2. Of course, I need so much piping practice
3. The real discovery was that I have learnt i can pipe scripting pretty ok for someone with my experience in cake decoration.
4. Of course, I need to practice more and more piping and smoothing. This cake took me a whopping 5 hours to make. I started at 11 30 and with many breaks for chilling etc finished by 6 30 in the evening.
