Mix all ingredients with a whisk Place both cream cheese and lemon juice in mixing bowl and mix well. Add powdered and vanilla sugar and mix again well.

With spatula, evenly spread approximately 1/3 of frosting on the first layer. Center second layer on the top of the first layer. Again with a spatula, evenly spread approximately 1/3 of the creme on the layer. Center third layer on the top of the second layer with top side down. Using both hands, press firmly but gently, all layers together to get one firm cake. With spatula, spread remainder of the creme to cover top and sides of cake. Decorate the cake.
