This was a good job gone bad. It's cute, yes I know... but I thought that the chocolate fudge frosting under the violet would turn it greyer... it didn't. It was a pound cake recipe that a friend swore by, and since i was on a time crunch, I used it. ICK. The lady that got it had mixed emotions. Loved the look, hated the color. Hubby said "Does it roar too? It's awesome!" Never ever heard from them again. =((
