However, the cake batter turned out to be very runny. There was no need to smooth the batter with a spatula after pouring into the pan. After baking, the cake did not seem to rise. I ended up with 2 cake layers that were about half inch thick before sawing. I wonder what went wrong. The buttercream turned out really good though. No trouble with that. Hi

Mine looks like a total hot mess. But isn't it a great tasting cake? You're right, definitely a keeper. I hang my head in shame at my cake after looking at yours. Mine looks like a total hot mess.

Okay, fondant flowers right? Did you tint some coconut pink? How did you incorporate the pink. It really is lovely and reminds me of Easter and little girls dresses with hats and lacey anklets, hats and baskets full of eggs from the festivities. I'm a geek, sorry.
