This was my daughter's 8th birthday cake. I had a lot of trouble getting the icing smooth, and there are a lot of bulges here and there on the cake but I was happy with how the drop flower border turned out, and my daughter loved it and that's all the really matters. The bottom tier is a 9 inch 3 layer red velvet cake and the top tier is a 6 inch 2 layer chocolate cake, both with cream cheese buttercream icing. P.S.- The date on the camera is set wrong, this is from today 3/25/2007
