Every family has its share of favorite cakes, we definitely have ours! My husband's favorite cake is the Curly Boy cake. But this Broken Glass cake is my favorite. It's a bit more time consuming to make but it's very appealing to the eye. Moisture (including the moisture from the frosting on the cupcakes) will eventually start to break the glass down.
