Just finished making a layer cake for the first time in my life. It's a mess around here. The cake looks nice, for a first timer.
The biggest problem with baking this cake was finding two 8″ cake pans. I found them in the fourth store I went too, #HomeGoods. While not machine washable, it was #MarthaStewart to the rescue.
Spouse judged my cake "It was good, I've tasted fluffier."
