I made this cake in a rush for my great-grandfather's 84th birthday. If you're in a rush, don't do basketweave...otherwise you'll end up with a sloppy cake, like mine...haha. And then...the box smashed my rose. But it didn't matter - everyone loved it, and it tasted SO good (lemon cake w/ lemon filling!). It wasn't lopsided - however, it seems like it in this photo.
