Rasta Cake

Rasta Cake
STORY

It was a quiet day at the tennis courts of Bentwood. She should have known something was up when her husband asked to play tennis with her. Nevertheless... the plan was made over a week ago. Hubby was to make a fruit bouquet, and I to make the cake.

I chose a Rasta cake for a couple of reasons.
  • The colors are just to damn pretty!
  • After a spectacular Halloween costume, I figured there was a theme!
  • Can 1 family eat a bushel of Jalapenos?

Rasta it was, and since it was an adult cake, you gotta have the dubbie!

DIRECTIONS

  1. Baked a Standard 9X13
  2. Applied white creamy icing to cake
  3. Used butter-cream icing for colors
