Step 1
In a bowl, mix 8 oz cream cheese and 1/2 cup mayonnaise until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Trim crusts from 12 slices of bread. Arrange 4 slices in a single layer on a serving plate, trimming to fit.
Step 3
Spread a third of the cream cheese mixture over the bread. Top with half of the 6 oz smoked salmon, tearing into pieces.
Step 4
Repeat layers: 4 more bread slices, another third of the mixture, remaining salmon, then the last 4 bread slices.
Step 5
Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over the top and sides of the cake, smoothing with a spatula.
Step 6
Decorate the top with 1 sliced cucumber, 1/2 lb cooked shrimp, and 1/4 cup fresh dill. Squeeze juice from 1 lemon over the top.
Step 7
Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
