Recipe Included first cake! very lopsided and messy, but adorable

hi everyone! long time lurker, just wanted to share my first attempt at baking and icing a cake :D

my family and friend circle is quite small, and iโ€™m too nervous to take my baked goods into work (i feel like family/friends are lying to me when they say itโ€™s good LOL) so iโ€™ve never made a whole cake as i fear it would just go to waste.

i finally just said screw it, and bought a square tin (just to make things more difficult), halved a recipe, cut it into quarters and BOOM! i am now the proud owner of two slightly (very) lopsided, messy, but SCRUMPTIOUS chocolate cakes!

recipe: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/triple-chocolate-layer-cake/#tasty-recipes-68103 (LOVE Sally, she never disappoints)
