This cake (featured on the cover of Martha Stewart Weddings about six years ago) is the cake that inspired me to start cake decorating. I made it on a whim, and was so proud of myself. Looking back at pictures now, WOW, it was awful! I was very excited to have a chance to re-do this cake and redeem myself for my daughter's first birthday party. You can hardly tell it fell over flat on its side that morning!
