For C, who wanted this cake from the first moment she laid eyes on my ‘Baking‘ book. 
Ecstatic is the word I’d use for the moment I found out we were making the cake on the cover of Dorie’s book. I’ve always admired this cake and wondered what it would taste like. Fortunately, it tasted lovely. It’s definitely not as gorgeous as Dorie’s, but hey… it’s the taste that counts, right?? I even took the pictures in my new DIY lightbox. Pretty, huh??

Great job on the cake! I love all of the Valentine’s Day themed items in the photo! The lighting is great. I’ve been wanting to make a lightbox for quite some time now but just haven’t gotten around to it.
