This cake was one of the most fun and surprisingly easy cakes to make. (Easy, not fast). I just made 4 9×13 cakes, wrapped them in plastic overnight, leveled them, then cut them with a number stencil. Then I made a basic vanilla buttercream, piped a layer, stacked them, and piped the final layer. Then I added my goodies πŸ™‚ for the chocolate buttercream, I just used the leftover vanilla and added 8 oz of melted (but cooled) chocolate to it.

I made the chocolate macarons (filled with raspberry jam and chocolate ganache) and the meringue cookies (piped in stars, swirls, and flowers) a few days before. I bought the chocolate wafers and chocolate covered pretzels from a store. And made chocolate curls with a vegetable peeler and a chocolate bar.

It was a blast to make, and I'm so proud of how professional it looks!! 😊 And my best friend loved it!!!
