You can substitute liqueur with flavourings. They can be bought at most baking supplier shops. Eg. Rum liqueur can be replaced with Rum/Mixed fruit flavouring.

I have a baked a butter cake and tried putting butter icing on it but there's a lot of crumbs coming out from cake. What should I do?

Answer
To make icing a cake easier, you can crumb coat it first. Crumb coating is to apply a thin layer of icing to the cake so that the crumbs are sealed in place. Allow it to set for one or two hours
in the refrigerator before frosting and adding other decorations to the cake.
