On a cardboard cake rounds on a cake turntable, add a small amount of buttercream in the center with an offset icing spatula to act as "glue" to hold the cake onto the board.
Place the first cake layer down, then add on a layer of buttercream.
Add on the next cake layer, add on another layer of buttercream on top, and repeat with the final cake layer.
Crumb coat the entire cake and freeze for about 5 minutes to set.
Add on a final layer of buttercream, using a cake scraper for clean sides and edges.
Place the cake onto a cookie sheet, then back onto the cake turntable. Gently press on the Oreo crumble along the bottom of the cake. Place in the freezer to set.
With a piping bag fitted with the Wilton #9 piping tip and filled with buttercream, pipe a braid pattern around the top rim of the cake, then repeat on the inside of the top of the cake. After, pipe another braid along the side of the cake along the top part of the Oreo crumble line (see my Instagram page @bakingwithblondie on 10/26 for a video on the braid detail).
Slice with a hot knife on a cold cake, and enjoy!
