Bottom Layer is the traditional vanilla cake
with vanilla butter cream
and
the top layer is German chocolate cake
with traditional German chocolate cake icing with
chopped pecans and coconut
This was a bonus, always love when I have left over
cake and icing.
German Chocolate Cake!
I did finely chop the pecans and coconut so when I covered the wedding
cake with the fondant it wasn't so lumpy.
