Notes
Feel free to mix up the flavors of the cake based on your preference; chocolate or lemon can be a fun twist. Store any leftover cake in an airtight container to maintain freshness. For easier decoration, practice piping techniques on a plate before applying to the cake. Use templates for stitching lines to ensure symmetry in your decorations. If you're short on time, consider purchasing a ready-made cake and customizing it with toppers for a personal touch.
