The cherry buttercream makes simply sufficient to pipe a flourish on high and a few garnishes on the edges. You in fact may depart it off and simply mud the cake with powdered sugar – that’s completely nice too! However the buttercream is wonderful and solely takes a few minutes to make.
I do suggest making the cake the morning of or evening earlier than you need to serve it. It’s greatest to let the cream cheese filling set for just a few hours within the fridge earlier than slicing into it.
