So what is the premade frosting? Are we talking about white Betty Crocker frosting from the baking isle at the supermarket? Also, any general tips on amount of dark chocolate?

Where is the recipe for Stephanie's cake? The lemon/dark chocolate pairing seemed much more interesting & since it's the winning team's cake I'm surprised its recipe wasn't featured.
