And They Said It Couldn't Be Done

Actually, they didn't say anything.
I said --
It wouldn't
couldn't
shouldn't
be done!

It's Miss Lizzie's 16th birthday,
and all she wants is
a 16 layer
'i am baker's' rose cake
After trying to get her to want something else,
I started making it super late the night before.

I wish my layers looked like Bakerella's.
I used cake mixes.
Shouldn't have-my mixes didn't spread or cook evenly &
they poof in the middle.
And then they crack,
when you stack,
but that just makes the
chocolatey goodness seep through the cake, right? :)
It's a BiG tasty cake.

    That's amazing! what could we do with nutella????

    Oh No... I have retired. Or...you bake the cakes I'll do the rest, but they have to be flat - good luck with that. That's a deal.
    Nutella. I know you love it. It doesn't even tempt me, so let's have it on everything.

    That turned out to be a great cake. I have read that if you use the silver insulated wraps that go around the pan it keeps the cake from bowing in the middle. You can get tem at Joanns. I have not tried them yet but I want to.
