*Note: You can double the recipe if your cake has two layers and you want to add more buttercream decorations.

Assembling the cake or cupcakes:
For a cake, you can cut your dough in half, place buttercream between the layers and ice your cake like this or simply cream it as is (add decoration with buttercream or fruit if desired) For cupcakes, the ideal is to use a bag with a large fluted tip for a pretty “rosasse” pattern, otherwise cream to your liking! 👩‍🍳
