This should give hope to anyone in the industry

We all have bad days with cake decorating.. This was mine:

What I LONG LONG Day, but it created a great story. Most of you received the picture of the 90^th birthday party cake I finished yesterday. (second picture listed) Well, a few errors on my part combined with the large hills in Seattle, tuned that cake into.. Well.. A picture is worth 1000 words right?? J

The base was Bavarian cream, and that is instable as it is. The cake also was carved into the side which created more instability… … Cringe Cringe….

It broke right where I carved into the side. yeah.. that was lovely… The top two kinda made it…. But wouldn’t have gone back together well. So we scraped it. I took the fondant piano keys off the original cake and put it together on the new cake. The new cake???!?!?!?

Did I ever tell you what an awesome, talented husband I have???? He grabbed the kids, went to the kitchen pulled out the spare cakes in the freezer and went to work filling and frosting the cakes. He transported them SEPERATED to me in Seattle. I stacked, decorated and presented the cake before anyone from the party got there. All the friends and family who saw the cakes all have said they like the cake that was presented the best.

I had called Valerie the lady who ordered it and told her what happened and that we would fix it. She had a ton of faith in me and knew it would be beautiful. When she arrived at the party, she gave me hug upon hug upon hug. Which was thoughtful… She said she was also going to bring me flowers.. What a sweetie… J

We do pretty good under pressure eh???? J Don’t want to do that again, but have two great pictures to add to the portfolio and one great story J
