My first attempt at a drip cake.

Marzipan centers with slivered almonds.

my inspiration cake pulled from the internet.

I used "luster dust" mixed with rum to paint the gold.

Swiss meringue buttercream.
THE BEST FROSTING ON THE PLANET.

The filling is custard/marcapone cheese.  Like what is in tiramisu.  I just made it thicker and added almond flavoring.

Whew!  Everyone said it tasted good.

Extra cake for the family using the "spare" cake I made in case of an accident.
