Notes
- Cotton Candy Flavors: Experiment with different cotton candy flavors to customize your cake. Traditional pink and blue are classic choices, but you can also try flavors like raspberry, strawberry, or even bubble gum for a fun twist.
- Frosting Consistency: To achieve a light and fluffy frosting, ensure your butter is at room temperature before beating. Gradually add powdered sugar to avoid a gritty texture, and adjust the consistency with a splash of milk if needed.
- Cake Assembly: For a professional-looking finish, level your cake layers before assembling. Use a serrated knife or cake leveler to create even layers, and consider using a cake turntable for an easier frosting application.
