Super-fun cakes! The reason these cakes are "two-hours or less" is that they are only counting actual decoration time, not baking or preparing icing. I don't know that a beginning cake decorator could do these in two hours, but certainly in an afternoon. All the cakes are small and single tiered (although some have a few layers), so that really simplifies things.
