ok so my cake isnt a patch on anyone elses but i wanted to share it anyway in the hopes that some other people who are just starting to get into baking and maybe a bit embarassed to post there pics might share there ones too
made this today and it came out a bit lopsided but it still tasted good

My cakes are always lopsided but I dont care cause I trim the top off to level and then we get to eat the cut offs. result!

do you have a round cookie cutter? maybe you could use a straw or something to make the little holes in the middle

Thats what im going for. Round cookie cutter. Slightly smaller one to make the inner circle and then straws for the holes
