Okay, so the cake is tall and beautiful, and i had a blast making it. But i have to say, i did not enjoy eating it.
I have two or three objections to this cake. a.) the recipe didn't call for any salt. Weird. I added some anyway. b.) the cake was waaaaaaaaay too sweet!!. And c.) i am not partial to buttercream. It makes me feel like my arteries are clogging up with every bite. Yes, I know its probably just all in my head, but nevertheless thats how it is.
So i decided to make another version....just with layers of fresh berries and sweetened whipped cream. Yum. This cake was devoured before the day was out.

Your decoration is wonderful, I love the coconut only on the bottom and your roses are so pretty.
You do have a lovely cake.
Interesting you mention the salt--I remember thinking that as well when I made it...

Your cake is absolutely beautiful! Wonderful job.
OMG! It looks lovely!
oh wow! Your cake is just beautiful. You should be right proud. I agree with you, the cake was far too sweet and this particular buttercream, in my opinion, you could taste every ounce of the 3 sticks of butter it had. But yours... it really is gorgeous. Well done.
Your cake has perfect layers! Beautiful
They both look great, though! Love the strawberries on the 2nd one.
I feel the same way about buttercream. But it's still tasty!
Your cake is really beautiful - looks perfect.
Wow..I could just sink my teeth into the last pic now :)
Your roses look beautiful!
looks beautiful!
I figure by forgetting to put buttercream in between my layers, I saved my cake eaters some major fat calories! :)
Sorry you didn't like the cake. It looks lovely, though!
Both of your cakes are stunningly beautiful! My oh my! (I would be partial to the strawberry whipped cream one too... Mmmm... :-)
Thanks everyone for your lovely comments :). I got kind of carried away with this one, and even made marzipan roses for the cake. lol. I can't wait for the next challenge!
Sorry you didn't enjoy it, it sure looks good!

Beautiful cake!! It looks wonderful, and your decorations are awesome!!
I love those roses! They are so pretty :)
I wondered about the lack of salt too, but I left it alone as I was afraid of messing it up. And although I did love the buttercream, I did feel really guilty everytime I thought about the 3 sticks of butter in it. lol!
Your cake looks great.. love the decorating style.
Love the strawberries on top.
