So this cake was a lot of firsts for me. In hind sight too many. I will focus on one thing at a time in the future. This was supposed to be a 3 tier mini cake the top tier being about 3 inches around, the second 5 and the bottom around 6 or 7. You can see the the top tier met its tragic demise when trying to frost it. They were hand cut rounds from a chocolate cake. This made my first time using a crusting butter cream frosting (viva method) just that much more difficult. It was also my first time piping on a cake. My boyfriend picked the "smurf blue" as he called it for the flowers. I'm fairly pleased for my first cake but more practice and focus is in order for sure. TFL!
