Blue Velvet Ribbon Cake

Made this for a good friend's shower last month. Red velvet cake recipe with blue dye substituted for red. Also, because I’m getting a little sick of cream cheese frosting, I made a traditional vanilla buttercream. Delicious!

To keep the frosting from overpowering the cake, I alternated buttercream and whipped cream between the layers.IMGP4928

I read some tutorials online to learn how to pipe the ribbon frosting in—surprisingly simple!IMGP4887
