My daughter gave me a very detailed set of instructions for her 12th birthday cake. I took some liberties, but I am pretty happy with how it turned out (other than my lettering – not my strong suit).

Disclaimer: not a professional. Just a dad who's been the resident birthday cake baker for 12 years now.
