• Add domed layer, cut side down, and spread 1 1/2 to 2 cups buttercream in thin layer over entire cake to seal in crumbs. Transfer assembled and crumb-coated cake to refrigerator, and chill 30 to 40 minutes, or until buttercream is firm. For best piping consistency, keep the remaining buttercream at room temperature.
• Transfer cake to rotating cake stand for easy decorating, or place on inverted cake pan to elevate. Fill pastry bag, fitted with #6B tip, with remaining buttercream. Starting at bottom of cake, pipe 1 1/4-inch stars around the base, then add stars in horizontal rows up sides and across top to completely cover cake.
• Place one gumdrop in the center of each buttercream star, creating a colorful pattern around the cake. Chill completed cake at least one hour before serving so buttercream is firm and set.
