✨ Assembly
1. Level your cake layers and frost between them with the cloud frosting.
2. Frost the entire cake smoothly, creating soft, fluffy “cloud” swirls on top.
3. Chill the cake for 30 minutes.
4. Drizzle the colored ganache from the top edge so it “falls” down the sides like a rainbow cascade.
5. Optionally, top with edible glitter, cotton candy tufts, or pastel meringue kisses for extra magic.
