For decoration:
- 6-8 extra slices of ham (to make roses)

Instructions:

In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside. - Layer the cake:
- On a serving plate, place one slice of bread. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture.

- Repeat the process (bread, spread, ham, cheese) until all bread slices are used, finishing with a bread slice on top.
- Decorate the top:
- Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the top and sides of the cake to “frost” it.
