Madison's 16th Birthday
This poor poor cake! I started out with a Topsy Turvy cake on this one, and all three tiers literally went Topsy Turvy and fell apart on the table! So, all of that cake went into the freezer awaiting for a cake ball day. So, had to re bake cakes. I pulled an all nighter and finished this cake at 7:00am and waited for my client to pick it up. She loved it, but about 5 minutes after she left, she called and said that the cake had taken a nose dive in the back seat (which I had warned her not to do) and wanted to know if I could help put it back together. Soooo, had to rebake another bottom tier-at least one layer of it-and it cracked coming out of the pan, really bad. (another cake for cake balls!!) Baked another bottom layer, but it ended up being too hot to work with in such short time, so I ended up freezing that layer and just making the bottom tier one layer! Needless to say.....they ended up with a lot of cake balls for the party, along with a botched up cake job. Didn't get a picture of the botch job. It was horrible! So this is the only pic I got of the second disaster after the original Topsy Turvy fiasco. =O(

How silly..... In the back seat.... really?? What was she thinking!
If you're going to use the back seat, someone has to hold on to it!

Thank you Goreti. It wasn't one of my best efforts, but all things considered, after losing the first 3 tiered cake when it fell on the table, and then having so little time to rebake and frost all over again on such a short schedule, it turned out passable. I still have enough left over cake to make at least a 1000 or more cake balls.

Linda it was so pretty and you are right she should have known better.

Thanks guys. Well, when a person plops it on the floor in the back seat, and there is no spotter in the back, then you buzz down the drive way and whip around a corner....the inevitable is going to happen. What is wild, is my client made cakes several years ago and sold them, so she really should have known better.

That was easy, Gail...just buy a cheap plastic mask, whip up some gum paste, take the elastic thingy off the mask and roll out the gum paste, place it over the front of the mask and cut off the excess.
