- Steps:
- Prepare the Cake Layers:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla.
- Gradually mix in dry ingredients, alternating with milk.
- Divide batter evenly into three bowls. Tint each with varying shades of pink using gel food coloring.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, then cool completely.
- Make the Buttercream Frosting:
- Beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with heavy cream. Add vanilla extract.
- Assemble and Decorate:
- Layer the cakes with frosting in between. Apply a thin crumb coat and chill for 20 minutes.
- Use a star piping tip to pipe rosettes in ombre shades, starting from the darkest shade at the bottom and gradually lightening toward the top.
- Add edible pearls for a finishing touch.
