devil's food cake

I was asked to make the groom's cake for Emily & Justin's wedding
besides a detailed drawing of how he wanted the cake to look,
the only direction I received on flavor was he likes chocolate cake and raspberry filling
so for the bottom tier I tried a devil's food recipe from David Lebovitz

must not have greased the pans well enough, because they would not come out
so I just cut it down the middle - which explains the crater
the flavor of the cake was great, regardless of what it looked like
and in between the two layers was a raspberry filling

Chelle was coming up for her birthday, so I made it into a bingo b-day cake
chocolate cakeballs w/vanilla coating and edible black pen

 B3 and B13 because her birthday is March 13

I23 since she was turning 23 years old

still need to find the right frosting for tier one of the groom's cake
tier one cake and filling recipes were a success though - now on to the next two

happy birthday chelle!
