Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with milk, and mix until smooth.
If using sour cream, fold it in at the end for added moisture.
Divide the batter evenly into the cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool completely before frosting.
Step 2: Make the Buttercream Frosting
Beat the butter until creamy.
Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until smooth.
Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until fluffy.
If using cream cheese, beat it in for a slightly tangy flavor.
Divide the frosting into bowls and tint with blue and white food coloring.
Step 3: Assemble and Decorate
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top.
Stack the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with blue frosting.
Use white and black fondant to create Bluey’s facial features or use an edible print.
Pipe decorative accents and add a Bluey cake topper for a perfect finish.
Optional: Add sprinkles or edible glitter for extra fun.
✨ Tip: A printable stencil or cookie cutter can help create precise facial details.
