Steps:
- For the White Cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prep 3 6" cake rounds (or 2 8" cake rounds) with a wipe of shortening and dust of powdered sugar. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, buttermilk, vanilla, egg whites, and vegetable oil until thoroughly combined.
- Sift in the white cake mix. Stir until just combined (don't overmix!), then divide between prepared cake rounds.
- Bake for 25-27 minutes until center is baked through (don't overbake!). Remove from oven, let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then flip out onto a cooling rack until room temperature. I usually wrap mine in plastic wrap and freeze for at least a day before frosting.
- For the buttercream: In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, whip up the butter until it's light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides, then add in the vanilla, paste, salt, and heavy cream.
- Slowly add in the powdered sugar until you're desired consistency is reached. Add in more heavy cream if you want to thin it out.
- Turn mixer on a high speed for 2 minutes and whip up the buttercream until it's light and fluffy and lighter in color. Turn the mixer to the lowest speed for about 30 seconds to beat out any air bubbles. Hand stir with a wooden spoon to further beat out any air bubbles.
- Assembly: Tape a 6" cardboard cake board to a 8" cake board and place onto a turntable.
- Pipe on a little buttercream in the center and spread around to act as glue for the first cake round.
- Place on the first cake round in the center, then pipe on about a ¼ inch layer of buttercream. Add on the next cake round and repeat.
- Crumb coat the cake, then freeze for at least 10 minutes.
- Add on the final coat, press sprinkles onto the bottom rim of the cake. Hand place any little sprinkles up the sides.
- Using a 1M Wilton piping tip, pipe on swirls on the top, and top with additional sprinkles.

BEST VANILLA CAKE
With its outstanding vanilla flavor, pillowy soft crumb, and creamy vanilla buttercream, this is truly the best vanilla cake I've ever had. Make sure you read through the recipe and recipe notes before beginning. This recipe yields approximately 8 cups of batter which is helpful if you need this batter for different cake pans and conversions.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease three 9-inch cake pans, line with parchment paper, then grease the parchment paper. Parchment paper helps the cakes seamlessly release from the pans.
- Whisk the cake flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together. Set aside.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Beat in the 3 eggs, 2 egg whites, and vanilla extract on high speed until combined, about 2 minutes. (Mixture will look curdled as a result of the egg liquid and solid butter combining.) Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients just until combined. With the mixer still running on low, pour in the buttermilk and mix just until combined. You may need to whisk it all by hand to make sure there are no lumps at the bottom of the bowl. The batter will be slightly thick.
- Pour batter evenly into cake pans. Weigh them to ensure accuracy, if desired. Bake for around 23-26 minutes or until the cakes are baked through. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it's done. Allow cakes to cool completely in the pans set on a wire rack. The cakes must be completely cool before frosting and assembling.
- In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt with the mixer running on low. Increase to high speed and beat for 2 minutes. Add more confectioners' sugar if frosting is too thin, more milk if frosting is too thick, or an extra pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet.
- Using a large serrated knife, slice a thin layer off the tops of the cakes to create a flat surface. Discard (or crumble over ice cream!). Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand, cake turntable, or serving plate. Evenly cover the top with about 1 and 1/2 cups of frosting. Top with 2nd cake layer and evenly cover the top with about 1 and 1/2 cups of frosting. Top with the third cake layer. Spread the remaining frosting all over the top and sides. I use and recommend an icing spatula to apply the frosting.
- Refrigerate cake for at least 1 hour before slicing. This helps the cake hold its shape when cutting.
- Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease bottoms and sides of 2 (8-inch) round cake pans with shortening or cooking spray.
- Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 8-inch rounds. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For easier handling, refrigerate or freeze cakes 30 minutes to 1 hour or until firm.
- Use diagram (template can be found under the Tips below) as a guide to shape the elephant. Cut 1-inch slice from edge of cake about 2 inches into cake. Cut small inverted U-shape piece for trunk. Place body on tray. From remaining cake, shape trunk from U-shape head piece and tail from the trimmed sections. Arrange trunk and tail pieces next to body. Repeat with remaining cake, turning diagram over to allow elephants to face each other.
- Spoon frosting into large bowl. Stir in enough food color until desired color. Spread thin layer of frosting over cake pieces to seal in crumbs. Refrigerate or freeze cake 30 to 60 minutes to set frosting.
- Frost entire cake with remaining frosting. Add mints for eyes. Press 2 of the gumdrops together; on sugared surface, roll gumdrops with rolling pin to form large thin sheet. Repeat with 2 more gumdrops. Trim each gumdrop sheet as in diagram to look like ears. Press ears into frosting on elephant to attach. Cut toe shapes from scraps of gumdrop sheet. Place on bottom of elephant legs.
