Please ponder away. I suggested a yellow cake, but the theme is pink and
white, so Amanda is adamant on the white cake. Therefore, the only
chocolate I can get away with would be white chocolate. You're not kidding,

some aluminum cake pans to make it to help cut costs down since I'll most
likely never use a cake pan again.
