So Part Two (Day Two) of the cake preparation involved making the whipped cream topping and applying the royal icing lettering.
Heavy cream and powdered sugar where whipped together until... well, whipped.
Whipped cream was spread over the cake, making small peaks as prescribed per the recipe. Cinnamon was also sprinkled on top.
And this is where the photos stop. My skills with a piping bag are lacking (as I learned), and my cursive writing on the cake was kind of sad. My care in applying foil over the top for transport to work did not help things either... the edges of the cake made contact with the foil and the writing was compromised. Additionally, my use of too much leche pour-over from the night before was confirmed, as the cake actually leaked all over the passenger seat of my car in transit to my work.
All in all, the cake was hella good, but a pain in the ass to make given all the stumbles noted. Probably not going to attempt this again for a long time...
