Engagement Cake

My mom hosted a dinner for her recently engaged friend and asked me to make a cake for the party. Luckily, I had the day before off from work, so I drove down to Virginia Beach to help out.

It's just a simple vanilla cake with chocolate frosting, chosen by the bride-to-be. I've been testing out some new recipes, trying to find a favorite for this combo, but I'm not sure this is it. I'm getting closer with the frosting, but this cake was a little dry.
