- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and continue mixing until combined.
- Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing until the buttercream is light and fluffy.

5. Assemble and Decorate:
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, level the tops of each layer.
- Stack the layers with a layer of frosting in between each.
-Frost the entire cake with a thin layer of buttercream (this is called the crumb coat) and chill to set.
-After chilling, add additional frosting to create ruffles, using a piping bag fitted with a ruffle tip or a star tip for decoration.
