I should put this cake under cake disasters! EVERYTHING that could've gone wrong did! But overall, I guess it came out ok...plus it was FREE! My mom's co-worker was retiring and my mom asked me to make something...so how do you charge your own mother, right?!! Anyhow, they were all pleased with it, and maybe it is just one of those that most people won't notice the flaws...well...I'll just keep telling myself that! ;)
