I hated this cake....from start to finish it was a nightmare. I made if for my best friends brohters birthday. He is a mans man who loves to hunt. This was my very first attempt at carving anything!! I made several mistakes and learned sooooooooo much as I went through the process of this cake! I was so glad when they came to pick it up :) But the birthday boy loved it and of course told me I was nuts for being so critical!!!! Can't help it :-)
