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(

So agree with you there Linda.  A really nice guy it would seem.

By the way...I think Martin must have magic in those hands of his....he can turn anything into a masterpiece! He is amazing and yet so humble and down to earth!

Katy, that is a really good idea! Unfortunately, I don't have anything going on for Halloween. If my hubby will quit eating the cake, I kind of wanted to experiment with the cake balls and see if I can make nice clean looking ones like Nadia's. I've never seen anyone pack away so much cake! He's gonna weigh a ton!

Or of course, if you were Martin, you could make a Close Encounters of the Third Kind theme and put a flying saucer over the top of it (with LED lighting obviously) then enter it in the Movie Theme Contest lol!
