This cake is now known as "The Beast". It's the biggest cake I've ever made, and definatly the most time intensive one, for sure. When I was making it, Aryanna said to my mom, "You know, it doesn't matter how long it took Mommy to make, as long as it looks good and tastes good". Thanks kid, I'll remember that. Anyhoos, here is The Beast. Everything was iced with vanilla buttercream icing. The bottom tier is chocolate fudge cake, with chocolate buttercream filling. The middle tier is vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream filling. The top tier is lemon cake with vanilla buttercream filling. Hopefully we're going to have enough cake tomorrow!
I also tallied up a few things.
108 buttercream roses
161 buttercream swirl flowers (made, but not all used... they kept breaking)
5.5 kg icing sugar
11 batches of icing made (total 44 cups)
24 eggs
30 cups total of cake batter (16 chocolate, 10 vanilla, 4 lemon)
Total time worked on this cake: 10 hours
