lol, nevermind. Martin just came in and I said "Taste that" thinking he would go "Yuck" but he said "That's awesome." I said, "You don't think it's too sweet?" He just repeated "No - That's AWESOME." haha, guess it's not bad afterall. Woohooo! I'll post the final pics after everything has cooled and is iced.

it is suppose to be sweet...but creamy at the same time.

 

Just make sure that the whole cake is totally cold...otherwise the icing will liquify

FYI it turned out great! Thanks Tammy for the recipe - James said it was the best he'd ever tasted!!

OH, and apparently it's also Martin's Mom's fav cake (she's a BADA$$ chef) so she requested a piece and Martin said she all but licked the plate clean - 2 thumbs up

WOW, how's this for procrastination!

Martin helping to ice the cake:


I have better pics of the cake itself after decorations but I can't find them right now.

Btw, FMIL was so impressed she gave me a trophy (LOL) for my first 3 Layer Cake and then this Xmas she bought me 3 nice cake pans, flour sifter, etc...
