I have to made this cake but thinking about trying it. The one thing that did not look right to me was the icing. Now that I read the reviews I think I was right LOL ... So my tip and what I plan to do is add more powered sugar so that it is not so thin. My thought from reading the recipe was that it would be thin and not enough for the whole cake. I had to rate the cake to post and did not think it would be fair to give it bad one.

My hubby made the cake & it was awesome. I had three ladies at the event we attended ask me for the recipe. Used a little less amarettoi in the icing which made the icing perfect!
