Help with Creme au beurre AKA French buttercream.

I am making an elaborate cake that requires french buttercream between layers. Since the recipe has so many steps. I was wondering. Can I make creme au beurre in advance? If so, how do you store it and use it? Thank you.

Per Stella Parks over at Serious Eats:

"Buttercream can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks and frozen for up to several months. (The main issue with longer storage in the freezer is odor absorption, not spoilage.)"
