While this screams masculine to me, a friend mentioned that she might want try a different technique for the frosting. (What, are petals feminine or something??)

Something like this:

  9. I actually made this cake this weekend and decorated it this evening! My problem, though, is that I followed your chocolate cake recipe instead of mine and the cake completely fell apart when I tried to take it out of the pans. Tasted super yummy, but not sure what happened. Any ideas?

  10. Would it be selfish of me to the buy the book “for dad” and then conveniently forget to give it to him?
    And also, to make this cake “for dad” and then conveniently eat it all before I give it to him?
    No? Perfect!
    GORGEOUS CAKE! Pinned 🙂
