Practice Makes Perfect!
My roommate asked me to make a fancy cake for her mother's 50th birthday, but she didn't know exactly what she wanted it to look like, so we decided to experiment a little bit. She was thinking she wanted something with colored coconut sprinkles, so I made this little number, complete with marbled chocolate. My roommates were thoroughly sick of cake at this point, so one of my favorite visiting teachees inherited it.
Practice Cake Specs:
Tier #1: 8″ circle, 2 layers, chocolate cake with raspberry filling, marbled chocolate topping
Tier #2: 6″ circle, 2 layers, chocolate cake with buttercream filling, coconut topping

Happy 50th Birthday!
This is how the "happy" birthday cake turned out. Yes, black. Jenna's family has a special sense of humor when it comes to 50th birthdays.
