Cinco de Mayo Birthday Cake

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!

This fun cake is for a Cinco de Mayo 21st birthday celebration.  The cake is chocolate with coconut cream filling and coconut buttercream.  The limes on top are filled with tequila-lime Jell-O shots.  I also made the topper.  I was excited to have artistic freedom on this one as I have been wanting to do some form of a ruffle cake.  All these colorful ruffles remind me of a beautiful mexican dress and also kind of make me think of all the paper ruffles on a pinata.  Happy Birthday, Janice!  Have fun tonight!
