I’m working on the cake today and tomorrow. I’m baking today (Friday) and icing tomorrow (Saturday). You’ve probably noticed that the website starts the new day a day early. So you’ll be getting a few extra posts. I found this video which helped me get started. I’ve never made a two tiered cake before. She…
