I was emailed a couple of photos of this week's cake. The coloring is much better!

Unfortunately I only had time to take a quick cell phone pic of this week's cake. The top part is actually the same light pink color as the damask on the bottom tier, but it doesn't look that way in the photo...strange.

The top is two six inch tiers, and the bottom is one 8-inch tier. Chocolate cake, whipped ganache filling, Swiss meringue buttercream frosting, fondant details.

Just made my first batch of Swiss meringue buttercream. I think I'm in love.
