cakes are not my strong suit :(

last week i got this marvelous giant cupcake pan from Williams Sonoma ( a very very dangerous store for a baker!!). since my friend basically made me buy it on the pretense that it was specifically for her birthday, i did. today i decided to do a test run to make sure everything would go (sort of) smoothly for tomorrow...........and attempt #1=FAIL. i needed 2 cake mixes instead of 1. i definitely had enough icing so i just crappily covered it with frosting so it would at least taste good........ it looks totally fugly but it tasted delish!

My ~stunning~ creation:
