The icing isn't as smooth as my normal icing, but it worked out. The little girl wanted only purple, so even the white looking icing isn't white, it has purple in it. It amazed the mother at how the top layer was leaning and was so in defiance of gravity... me too actually. The cake is 4 thin layers of the 8" round, a single 2" layer of a 6" pan, and 4 of the mini fill pan. Thanks for looking
