The Biggest Fattest Cake I've ever made


I made a cake for the LIFE Houston luncheon.

Red velvet.
Raspberry Filling.
Whipped chocolate ganache with raspberry liqueur.
White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting.

No big snags on this one. Just learned not to listen to Wilton and just bake at 350 and not 325 - even for a 12 x 18 cake. Also, used EIGHT boxes of cream cheese for the frosting!! I love that frosting but it is temperamental for decorating - it's either too cold or too warm to do anything really detailed with it, but at least it tastes good!!!

OTherwise, I'd say this cake experience was a success ; ) Woohoo!!
