I made this cake for my son's 1st birthday. Thanks to jkalman who gave me great advice on her SMBC, I'm sold! One big batch of the icing was more than enough for this whole entire cake! Leahs for her great SPS tutorial and persuasion for everyone to convert, I'm never going to go another way...I felt 100% confident in the structure and it was a very heavy cake. Thanks to everyone who posts on CC because I couldn't have done it without the support everyone gives each other on this site and the great product and recipe advice! Cheers
