About


My husband is very simple and plain when cakes are in question, so I had to split this cake in half. The plain half is all his to enjoy, while me and the kids are enjoying the glazed half. Originaly, the glaze covers only the top of the cake, but as I had pleantly of glaze on hand, I just opened the cake and filled it with some glaze too.
