Smiley face - 2 hr cake challenge?

So, 2 hours for a cake (except for cooling time - of course! :)) No problem!

I'm not much of a procrastinator but hey! it happens specially when it is a very

simple cake.  Simple cakes are the hardest! I'm like.. "no sweat!" I can do that tomorrow!!! So, I baked... 45 mins at 2:00am

Left it too cool as I am thawing my butter overnight  (didn't count)

I made the buttercream - 30 mins at 6:00am

Iced cake - 15 mins

fridged to set the buttercream whilst I have breakfast (didn't count)

fondant and decorate - 30 mins

---total time 2 hours---
