So, I decided to make it for my birthday and here are the pictures (Carol's looks much better but hey, this was the first time for me):
As you can tell, I'm still not perfect at frosting the cake. :) To put it mildly.
But it looked ok inside and everyone wanted a piece (that was good to hear).
Some guests wanted a second piece as well (yay for me!) so in the end there wasn't really much left. Although you might not think it by looking at the photos, the cake really tastes wonderful. And I can't wait to do it again in the near future.
P.S. Carol was very helpful - I don't do much baking, so I peppered her with questions. :) Thanks!
