Congrats and happy birthday to your husband, and that cake sounds delicious! 

Pieces for everyone! 

Great accomplishment ,, Congrats and Happy Birthday To DH 

Good for you! And him!! 

I only used 3/4 cup of powdered sugar. I didn't want the frosting to be too sweet. And then I only used 1/2 of the finished frosting on the top of the cake. My husband is not a big fan of frosting and he asked me to just put some on the top. I threw the other 1/2 away. Next time I will half the frosting recipe. 

I'm not big into cake but that does sound good. The frosting sounds even better  

He asked me when I was going to make it again...Father's Day. 

if you deprive yourself too much, you're only going to want it more. MODERATION is key. It's ok to make a cake and eat it too ;-) Just a small piece.  

Exactly!
