Erika's 30th Birthday Cake!

It's amazing that I was able to complete this cake! I miscalculated the amount of buttercream I needed and had to make 2 batches. I wasn't working with a turntable so the cake had a bit of a tumble and needed to be righted. All in all, it finally was completed in the wee hours of the morning and settled into the fridge.

It was a 6 layer dark chocolate cake...with Grand Marnier syrup to keep the layers moist, with Maman framboise preserves and TONs of fresh raspberries with vanilla orange meringue buttercream...just as the birthday girl requested.

Hope to be baking soon...stay tuned for more goodies, soon!
