Notes
Chill the cake before decorating to make it easier to frost. Use a cake leveler or sharp knife to ensure even layers. Experiment with different cookie designs for decoration. Avoid excessive buttercream to keep the 'naked' look visible. If storing leftovers, do so in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
