This cake stood at 13″ tall, that’s pretty hefty for it’s 8″ diameter even though it still wasn’t completely in proportion to perfectly match the 16oz can we were replicating.

Tis the season for weddings and I was excited by the prospect of this whimsy cake, they’re always fun and a bit of a challenge. This is a butter cake with vanilla buttercream, covered in fondant.
