PINK LEMONADE CAKE

By á-8399

Here is the cake frosted with basic buttercream (spiked with pink lemonade drink mix) and filled with whipped cream filling (made with french vanilla pudding and pink lemonade drink mix). I also crumb coated the cake with the whipped cream filling because it made so much. See my comments for more info.
