I'm kind of proud of it. In a moment of not-thinking-clearly I signed up for the third part of the Wilton cake decorating classes at Michaels in December. I wasn't thinking that the tiered wedding cake would be due the Tuesday before Christmas. But it was, and I made it.

The family requested a cake that could be eaten, not one that was covered in fondant or "CriscoCream" frosting (Crisco, powdered sugar, and clear artificial vanilla, yum,) so that's why it's chocolate.
