This was the birthday cake I made my father in-law. I got the idea from several different versions on C.C. I used a from scratch vanilla cake recipe I got on this site as well. I then iced it with a homemade vanilla buttercream and then used the dark choc. pieroles and fresh fruit. The flavors were great together, though for those wanting to do the same, one can of the pieroles doesn't go around (even an 8 inch cake).
