Method

Put the water, sugar, and butter in a pan over low heat to melt. When it starts to bubble, remove from the heat and add the chopped chocolate, swirl so the choc melts. Then leave for a minute before whisking until smooth and glossy.
Sandwich the 3 cakes together with the icing, and cover the outside of the cake with the icing too.
Decoration : For the white chocolate mosaic effect on the outside of the cake, heat 250g of white chocolate buttons over a double boiler until just melted. Spread the melted chocolate over a piece of baking paper on a tray and place in the fridge to set. When the chocolate is hard, use the handle of a knife or other utensil to crack the chocolate into uneven pieces - place these chocolate "tiles' around the outside of the cake.
