my first cake ever

this coming sunday is luis' birthday. since jesse was stressed with finals i offered to make a cake. and it was so much fun! here are a few pictures of the process:

i baked 2 strawberry cakes
and set 'em on racks to cool.

then i layered them and covered the
outside with a cream cheese frosting.

last, i added the guava topping,
sealed the edges with some fluff and
wrote happy birthday. :) ta-da!

seeing as it was my first attempt it actually wasnt too bad. im just happy there weren't any disasters! :p

so... did the cake turn out too sweet because of the cream cheese? or did it taste ok?

i know i've already told you about it, but it looked great!
