One of my Hardest cakes ever!

A good friend of the family asked me to make a simple cake for her daughter's 2nd birthday.  She said she just wanted a marble cake with vanilla buttercream and for it to be cute.  Going into it I thought yea no problemo! No need to over think it or even sketch it out right?  WRONGO!  After I iced the cake I stared at it for a hour or so dumbfounded.  I didn't think a 1/4 sheet cake could be so evil! So I took a break and asked my sister/assistant if she had any ideas; she also was at a lost!  Then I started thinking about the cakes you see in the grocery store and BINGO I had it!  So I came up with this and she LOVED IT!  Now I know not to underestimate the simple orders and I also have an even more respect for the grocery store decorator.  Who knew simple could be so hard...
