The cake was easy to make, but I was nervous once I started putting the layers together. I was afraid it was going to be soggy. But it set up in the refrigerator and turned out to be a HUGE hit. It was soooo yummy...everyone loved it, me included. :-) So thanks for helping me impress all my co-workers!

Each month they have a challenge and all members make the same recipe, posting their results at the very end of the month (or maybe the beginning of the next - I'm not sure). Check the link in my post for more info. I'm not actually part of the group so I can't really help you out more than that. Nikki, I don't plan on joining DB. It was appealing at first but now that there are nearly 1000 members, it has lost any charm for me. If that many people are doing it, it just doesn't excite me. Plus, it's hard to devote the time to some of the more involved recipes if I don't have a real desire to make them. I would rather just see what the challenges were after they are posted and make the ones that interest me. Sarah, Daring Bakers is a food blogging group.

Although I loved the buttercream (it wasn't as heavy as other buttercream frostings I've tried). I'm sure the whipped topping was excellent too!
