Notes
Go to for cake and cupcake decorating. Super simple, gets lots of compliments.
Follow timing on whipping.
Softened butter too much. Apartment doesn't take long to soften to the right consistency. If softening at Mom's it takes hours.
x6 was enough for 3x 8" cake pan (six layers) for Carter's first birthday. Took approximately 4 boxes of cake mix. Fed 50ish probably, since they were tiny slices.
