• 7. For Vodka glaze, Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl, adding additional confectioner's sugar as needed to make the glaze as thick as you like. I like it to be thick like paint, but not so thick it can't soak into the cakes. Set aside.
• 8. For Frosting: Beat butte, cream cheese r and vanilla together. Slowly add confectioner's sugar until completely incorporated. Gradually add Kahlua and whip until completely smooth. Set aside.
• 9. ASSEMBLY! Once cakes are completely cooled, level off any doming with a serrated knife or cake leveler. Cut each cake in half to make four thin cake layers. Place first layer on a cake circle. Spread a few tablespoons of the vodka glaze evenly over layer, then frost with Kahlua frosting. Repeat this process with the other layers, omitting the vodka glaze on the very top layer. Frost entire cake as desired and garnish with chocolate shavings. Serve cake room temperature.
