Instructions

Prepare the Cake Batter: Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cream butter and sugar, add eggs and vanilla. Gradually add dry ingredients alternating with milk. Do not overmix.
Bake the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Divide batter and bake for 30-35 minutes. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
Make the Frosting: Cream butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Add milk and vanilla extract. Divide frosting into two bowls, leave one white and tint the other red.
Assemble and Decorate: Level cakes. Place one layer on a plate and frost. Add the second layer and frost the entire cake white. Drape rolled-out white fondant over the cake, smoothing it. Attach red fondant stitching with edible glue.

Notes

Chill the Cake: Chilling layers makes handling easier and prevents crumbs in frosting.
Smooth Frosting: Use a warm spatula for a smoother finish.
Fondant Tips: Knead fondant well before rolling. Dust work surface with powdered sugar.
