Almost all of the bustier cake ideas I found online were made with fondant, but I really wanted to try to make this all buttercream. I'm so happy with how it turned out!

To make the cake I used my Wilton Sports Ball Pan and a 12x18 sheet pan. I had planned to make just one sheet layer, but the first cake was a little thin, so I ended up layering 2 sheets together. In total, I used 7 cake mixes to make this cake!! I used my favorite boxed mix recipe for Vanilla Cake from TidyMom.com. This makes a soft but slightly denser cake than using the recipe from the box... which makes carving a cake much easier!
Here's how I pieced it together....

After layering the sheet cakes and adding the "bra top," I carved the sides and top of the cake to look like a bustier.

And decorating.... it's funny how decorating the cake is the quickest and easiest part of all! And most fun, of course!
