Easter screamed *raspberries!* to me, so I went the safe route with a classic raspberry decor.
Pretty ok job for a non cake-decorator, eh? My 6 year old was impressed and that's all that matters to me :)
The cake was devoured by all of my Easter guests, and I was right... the whipped cream frosting was the way to go. The buttercream provided all of the richness that was needed within the cake. The actual cake base I thought was very, very good. I would repeat the cake base recipe any time. The buttercream... I might look for something that suits me a little better. I think a lemon curd might work nicely too.
