We made this for my baby's 1st birthday and it was a hit! It looked fantastic and held together well. We had some problems baking the dome, with it not baking all the way through on the first try. By placing a small bowl on top of the batter on the second try, it worked. We made little marzipan penguins to go along instead of trees. Really cute! I think that gel-based food coloring would work better for the trees (to be darker. Though we didn't make the trees, we had to get the marzipan black for the penguins. The gel-based food coloring worked really well.

I think the directions could have been made a little easier. Using butter and flour for the pans made the cakes stick and start to pull away from each other. Also, I think that the whole cake could have been baked in a pyrex bowl so you only had the one cake to decorate and be one cohesive cake, minus the donut door. The cake was cute, but was not sturdy enough for transport.

I had the same issue with the green food coloring. However, we loved this cake. It is a really fun project for kids, too.

this recipe was easy, tasted great and was a real crowd pleaser. folks were so impressed by how great it looked. the only comment i have is regard to the food coloring. green is hard to make that dark. otherwise, great!
