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(

Ha ha! Rock star, huh? That's a good one! Believe me, this is not an experience that I want to ever repeat. I lost sooooo much money on this cake. It's just one that you chalk up for experience.

Linda - You're such a rock star. That client would have found me securely in a corner of my kitchen rocking back and forth in the fetal position. No doubt to the rhythm of my tears. Way to persevere!

Thank you Sandra! I wasn't all that thrilled with it, but at least the client was good with it. Hey, Sandra...start looking for a box to show up at your house. I sent it out on Monday.

What agony we go thru when the cakes just won't behave. This cake looks lovely Linda with all the frustrations you had to put up with.
