For my son’s 11th birthday, I made a chocolate cake with white buttercream icing–as requested by the birthday boy. While not particularly creative, it is a classic and pleased the crowd at his party. In this picture, you see that a 10″ round cake barely fits on my cake stand, especially with its glass domed top. I considered letting it go topless, but I never know when one of my very bad kitties will decide to crash the party!
