Pink Almond Cake from Betty Crocker

Do you remember I was on a search last September for the Ultimate pink Birthday cake for my birthday? I promised I would keep trying recipes for one year until the huge event of my _0th Birthday arrives on Sept 8th 2012.
I tried this one and I must say it is in the running! Maybe I ought to have _0 cakes for this happy happy Birthday coming closer each day. Thanks BC!
