As requested, here’s a peek inside.
Here is also more info: it’s a vanilla cake but I added a little cinnamon and a touch of maple to the batter. I wanted to get a cinnamon swirl like a coffee cake but it sunk. So you can’t see it like I wanted but you can taste it. I really thought the cake was going to be dry when I saw the crumb and how it cut but surprisingly, it’s not. But it’s also not “soft or fluffy”. Everything got a splash of maple so the overall taste is pancakes. Really sweet pancakes. I wish the blueberry was thicker but this was my first time using a filling and it felt like I used a ton. So there are many things I’d do differently but as a first time, I’m happy and my husband loved it. I also made a small version for my dad. My parents were really confused about it being cake. lol
I used these directions for the decorating:

I used this for the fondant. It makes a fondant that tastes amazing – like marshmallows. I don’t add all the store fondant she recommends and it works out fine without it.

And I used this for the cake but next time I’ll probably buy boxed. I added a cinnamon swirl to it with just brown sugar and cinnamon with a little butter.

I really think using boxed when doing so much decorating makes sense. Then the homemade cakes can be just easy frosting. It’s hard to do both.
Thanks for liking my cake!
