Cake for Nancy!

Same order- a 10" chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream icing. I gave her a piece of Aaron's lemon cake to maybe change her mind... :) I decided to decorate it more elaborately than usual, with all this time on my hands...

This lovely study in purple was a cake I made for Hermione's birthday. She had my martini cake (below) and wanted one for her birthday. Thanks Hermione! This first pic is me with the three semi-frosted tiers, then side and top views. The whole thing took around 5 1/2 hrs to make, every bit of it from scratch scratch scratch. Mmmm... Benny ate the frosting that fell on the floor. She loves it when I make frosting. Kitty will have purple poo!
