Choco Vanilla cake

 This is a two layered cake. It has chocolate in the bottom and vanilla at the top. The icing is butter icing. The decorations are made of fondant. Instead of using food colour in the fondant, I just painted the food coloured on them. I don't know what butter to use to make the icing look white. But this is best that I could make. It
still looks cream coloured. It used to look yellow. I guess cream is better. I usually use fresh cream for making the icing, but I have to add cornflour to make it look thick. But it taste kind of cakey with cornflour. I guess i'll have to fondant or some other type of icing.
