on October 8th i left home with 3 tiers of pleated fondant cake...nice and straight to assemble "sandwich" style....flowers between the tires....the the top 2 cakes were to sit on extended dowels...lets put the drama this way...it be came stacked with flowers randomly placed on each tier...my friend was there and she sent me pics...it seemed that as the morning progressed the cake followed....LEAN as hell!!!
now it was preventing sleep cuz i know that was not the set-up the couple wanted...but I felt it best to stack rather that having a big ole "SPLAT"
I wrote them...no response just yet...as bad as i feel...I find comfort in the 2yrs of "awesomeness" that I have produced....self taught initially...I'm proud of me...we will fall, get bruised...but we must get up and press on...
Did a wedding last week and today...and I'm so happy and relaxed...everything went as planned...it feels GOOD!!!!
Hey Tina
Can you tell me where you purchased those stress free cake supports? Much appreciated.
Good Amanda
Glad to see you got back up on the horse
Thanks Tina
Ck'd out the site. And just what I thought. They are expensive. I am just a hobby baker, and couldn't write off that kind of expense. Plus the shipping to Canada.
Thanks anyway for the info
Don't you dare give up, Amanda. I've been working at this cake thing for over 30 years and what I've learned more than anything else is that "cakes are evil!" (Laugh, please.) Notice how you recognized each problem individually, then went about the business of remedying them. That, my friend, is the sign of a true cake decorator. There will be many times, as you go forward, when you want to actually throw the cake up against the wall, but I believe you're passionate about this thing so just continue to fix what you can, re-do what you can't fix....you'll learn all kinds of tricks to hide mistakes as you grow into this.
Keep your chin up. You're going to be fine.
In fact, Marian, just being able to remedy the problem is more of a feather in a decorators hat (maybe not for anyone else) that they were able to 'fix' a problem and no one sees the fix!
