Stack the three cake layers with buttercream in between.
Carve the top layer slightly to form a jewelry box lid shape.
Cover the entire cake with a thin crumb coat of buttercream.
Chill, then apply a smooth outer layer.
Use fondant or modeling chocolate to create:
A realistic ring (gold/silver band + jewel)
A decorative box lid partially open
Edible flowers like peonies or roses (handmade or store-bought)
Add edible shimmer, pearl dust, or gold leaf for luxury effect.
