Naked Wedding Cake... HELP PLEASE!

Hi there

I’m making my first naked wedding cake in August and wondered if anyone has any tips?
It’s going to be a 3 tiered cake, each tier having 3 layers. I’m going to use a classic Victoria sponge recipe for the sponge and will dowel with thin plastic dowels so the layers don’t sink into each other.
I’d love some tips on assembling the cake at the venue and on filling the cake so that the buttercream and jam doesn’t all splurge out. It seems like there’s very little room for error as the whole sides of the cake are on display.
I can’t find many tips at all online and wondered if anybody has any? I’d be so grateful!
Thank you! Xxx

I am not an expert on cakes but I would put rings of buttercream on the inner and outter of each layer then add the jam the butter cream should contain the jam from splurging putting each layer in the fridge for the buttercream to set before adding jam will help and try for a fairly thick jam as well like I said I am NO cake expert but I hope this may give you some ideas to help you .
