Whimsical Birthday

Bless it...this cake was a disaster from the start. I used a cake recipe from this website and it was way to moist (never thought I'd be complaining about a moist cake) but it didn't come out of the pan right and half of it got stuck in the pan. Then it stuck to the cooling racks. Ugh...nightmare! I tried another recipe for the first time...a chocolate cream cheese frosting (not from this site). All I can say is YUK! The consistency was thick and pasty and I think it needed to be sweeter. I did not want to use it in the icing so I used it in the filling since I had waisted so much ingredient making it. I made a chocolate buttercream frosting which was very sweet but the best thing about this cake taste wise. The cake did taste ok but I think with it being so moist and being refridgerated that it gave it what I call a "packy" consistency so not very pallatable to me personally. The fondant kept tearing and the cake did start to slide after the fondant was added. I had a dear friend that rescued me and if help save it. Despite all the disasters with this cake, it was my first one so I will try again and I did have fun making it! :)
