Instructions
1. Prepare the Cake Batter
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease the cake pans.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk until the batter becomes smooth.
2. Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly between the cake pans.
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool completely before decorating.
3. Prepare the Buttercream
Beat the butter until creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar while mixing.
Add vanilla and milk, then beat until smooth and fluffy.
4. Assemble the Cake
Level the cake layers if needed.
Spread buttercream between each layer.
Apply a thin crumb coat and chill the cake for 20 minutes.
Cover the cake with smooth fondant or buttercream.
5. Decorate the Sewing Theme
Place a fondant sewing machine on the top tier.
Add thread spools and buttons around the tiers.
Create a measuring tape ribbon wrapping around the cake.
Finish with small pearls or edible glitter for an elegant touch.
