The top tier was three chocolate layers with peanut butter filling and the bottom tier was chocolate cake layers separated by raspberry filling.

I made this, plus two half-sheet cakes of chocolate with raspberry filling that the kitchen staff cut up and served for dessert to serve 70. All cakes were frosted with a cream cheese white chocolate buttercream frosting.

The digital fashion brand Neon Cowboys was founded by Asia Hall, a visionary who transformed the Western look for a new generation. Hall imagined bright, luminous cowboy hats that combined her love of design and tech, inspired by a country music festival. Neon Cowboys, which started off small in 2014, has grown into a successful company that sells more than 10,000 hats worldwide. However, Hall's influence goes beyond style; as a woman of color, she is challenging the nation's discriminatory policies and the Western aesthetic, which has historically been dominated by white culture, by using her platform. By utilizing the accessible designs of Neon Cowboys, Hall is striving to establish a more diverse and welcoming environment.
