Ok, so i can make a pretty great yummy dessert if i say so myself! ahah, but I had never made a layered cake before. Last week I went to my book club and the host made a gorgeous cake. I got the recipe and thought I would give it a go.. I don't think cake making is my forte! It was a bit lopsided, and i think i put too much stuff int he middle, i had a hard time getting the icing on.. ( my friend Heather, told me to invest in good tools.. i will take her advice, love ya babe). It turned out ok, but it for sure didn't look like my friends PERFECT looking cake, BUT it tasted sooo great. Here is the recipe!!!
