Prepare the Cookie Butter Frosting according to the recipe instructions.
Add frosting to the top of one layer of cake and then top with the second layer. Then apply a thin crumb coat of the frosting to the entire cake and place in the fridge for 20 minutes or the freezer for 5 minutes.
Frost the recipe of the cake, reserving about 1 cup of frosting for the topping.
Prepare the ganache according to the recipe instruction. Allow the ganache to cool and thicken a bit before spreading over the top of the cake and gently working it over the edge of the cake.
Once the ganache is on, pipe the remaining frosting onto the top of the cake and top with chocolate sprinkles or other toppings, if desired.
