This is an 8 inch yellow cake that I made for my best friend. I have always wanted to try this design that I have seen on CC many times. I must have done something wrong because it just doesn't look right to me. Do you make the slice smaller when you take it out of the cake? Anyway, the bow, cut edges of the cake, candle and dots are fondant but the rest is iced in buttercream. If anyone has advice, I would gladly take it.
