This cake was for a very special lady's retirement, Rosa. Rosa has worked for my parents at our family restaurant since I was a year old. Each and everyday she would come in and make the tiramisu, arancini and so many other yummy things. I could always count on her to squeeze my cheeks and call me "bella". Finally, at the age of 80, she has decided to hang up her apron and move to sunny Florida. So here's her marble cake with buttercream filling and icing, complete with her apron, knife, rolling pin, a tomato and bowl of spaghetti and meatballs.
