I had loads of trouble with this cake. Firstly chocolate crumbs all over the icing even though I did a crumb coat - I don't think I left it dry for long enough. Then I placed the top layer off-center (any tips for this as I have done this before). I had to change my plan and went with cornelli to cover up the crumbs. I did buttercream roses but had difficulty getting them onto the side ledge especially on the really narrow side - any tips for this? Hopefully they will still be attached tomorrow morning when my friend comes to pick them up for her parent's anniversary party. Anyway, I think it turned out ok in the end, but not my best work (of my limited work) to date! Tonight is a night where I ditch any long term plans to do this for real money. Hopefully the next cake will get me enthused again.
