First, I want to apologize if they're are several posts on this subject from me. I tried several times to submit my question, but it just wouldn't take the darn thing. I'm still learning how to navigate around here. Anyway, quick question. Do I apply my simple syrup to my cake layers while they are still warm or wait until they have cooled. Thanks !
You can apply it at anytime. This link is a good read. hth

Just an idea with your simple syrup I like to flavor mine to match the cake to add just a little bit more. I also have found mine to work best when I add it after the cake is cool since i usually tort my cakes and place the syrup in the middle.
You will still need something to stick the layers together. At a minimum you can use a crumb coat amount of buttercream. I use mousse fillings (1/4-1/2" thick layers) in most of my cakes.
The simple syrup won't really add sweetness (even though it's half sugar), just moisture and any other flavorings you added.
