The frosting was a bit too sweet for my liking. I think I would have preferred it if it was less sugary.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it was lighter and fluffier.

The frosting was a bit too runny for my liking. I think I'll try making it again with less milk next time.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.
