I'm really glad that in an earlier blog post, people suggested that instead of my original idea of proving that I made the cake by putting a pistachio or metal bolt into the middle, I could also just take a photo of myself with the cake in-progress.

It ended up that we made a very pristine elegant cake. I blurted out to the teacher that I already promised a friend to put her name on it, and he kindly melted chocolate so that I could fulfill my word.

Eating the cake, woot!
Now I know how to decorate a cake, and I feel very empowered with this knowledge! I have a dream that I'll make awesome cakes to bring to people's parties. I can make taro-flavored cakes, and almond cakes, and coffee cake!
One problem is that cake is quite unhealthy and I'd like to make a healthier version. Maybe I can substitute whole wheat flour, and use dates instead of sugar.

The frosting is probably the unhealthiest thing on a cake, and I'm not sure what you can do with natural ingredients to make it healthier. Also, if you make the cake itself less sweet but still have a very sweet frosting, the imbalance is very jarring.
The least healthful part of the cake is the wheat itself so whole wheat is not likely to help - read Wheat Belly for more information.
Eat less cake, but please don't make cake 'healthy'! Blech!
Healthy cake can still taste good.
