This cake and/or cupcakes are amazing by themselves or with frosting. It's not too sweet to hold the frosting and it's not even a little bit plain that it can't take standing in the spotlight by itself. This is by far my favorite cake. The picture is of my dad and step-mom's wedding cake. Underneath the buttercream frosting and decorations is the beloved chocolate cake with a strawberry mascarpone filling. It was delicious! mmmm.
