I had one disaster happen after another with this cake. I am so relieved that it's over! I made a lot of mistakes, had a bad road to travel over, my dowels wound up sideways in the cake, had an argument with the florist, nearly cried, wanted a drink, did I say I'm glad it's over? Not one of my best cakes but everyone liked it especially my cousin so I shouldn't stress so I guess :-) Oh, forgot to say... I hate how the florist poked her flowers in my cake, not pretty! :-(
