Transfer batter to prepared pans, dividing evenly. Bake, until cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 23 to ⏱️ 25 minutes. Cool in pans on wire racks for ⏱️ 10 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
4
Make the buttercream: Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and creamy, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes. Beat in cream and vanilla. Add half of the confectioners’ sugar and beat until combined. Add remaining confectioners’ sugar and salt and beat for ⏱️ 1 minute.
5
Remove domed cake tops with a serrated knife, if desired. Place one cake layer on a cake stand or plate and top with frosting (about 3/4 cup). Repeat with second layer. Frost sides of cake.
6
Roll fondant to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out using a 1 1/2 -inch holly leaf cookie cutter. Use a toothpick or skewer to make veins in leaves. Place leaves around the top outside edge of the cake in a wreath-like pattern. Top with red Sixlets to mimic holly berries.
