shelley's giant birthday cupcake

for our friend shelley's birthday, my friend lisa and i wanted to make a special cake. it turned out that recently, we both got the wilton giant cupcake pan, so we thought that would be a great idea for her birthday...lisa made the red velvet top half and some delicious cream cheese frosting. i made a vanilla bottom half and chocolate icing. the cake was pretty easy to assemble. the chocolate icing on the bottom was a bit tricky though. we topped it off with a cherry and a candle...lisa, shelley (the birthday girl) and myself...
