A Pretty Cool Cake

I found this awesome idea for a cake on Pinterest.  I've had some interest in cake decorating.  I don't want to be a professional, just make cute cakes for birthday parties. I decided for no particular reason to make this one.

I started making it Sunday, got it assembled and ready for frosting.  I decided on Butter cream frosting like the post from Pinterest.


It took way more frosting than I expected.  I ran out and I had to buy more frosting on Monday.

I frosted it on the one day, Andrew decided that he didn't need a nap.  Luckily he stayed in his crib...

Funny thing... I had someone ask me if this was a gender reveal cake.  HA!  Nope!
But the inside was to reveal a COOL design!  And it did!

 I did add black food coloring to the chocolate cake to make it darker!

My inspiration:  ZEBRA STRIPS CAKE

Side note to self... You probably should make it for an occasion.  
It makes way more than two people + a toddler can eat by themselves.
And it definitely will not last a whole week without sliding/falling apart!

Looks great! Call me next time I have recipes for frosting that you probably already have the ingredients for, including buttercream.
