I made a delicious cake for a co-worker's birthday in April. I was a little worried about how the icing turned out, but it was fine. Everyone loved it. It was so moist and extremely chocolatey. (Is that a word? I think it should be.) I know we did not get 18 servings out of it. It's way too good for that small of a piece!
I bought some Betty Crocker white chocolate icing to decorate the top of the cake. It was really simple to use. You just snip the tip, put the package in the microwave, and voila - a gorgeous cake!
