Surprise Vegan Birthday Cake for my daughter

Chocolate vegan cake with 2 tone green vegan icing. Tried a new icing recipe & should have stuck to my original go to vegan one. This icing never crusted, so I had to repeatedly place in freezer between applications. Piping ruffle was a nightmare as icing wouldn't stay firm and I had to put bag in freezer also. GRrrrrrr

Oh that's so sad June - and so disappointing for you and Sam.  Life just aint fair sometimes.  You go to a lot of trouble to please someone and it all blows up in your face.  I must say, I think you're taking it very well.  All that said - I can't wait to see the disaster too!!!!!!!!!!!

She saw the pic here on CWB Linda. I will post a pic of the disaster.  The icing was "off", so we through the cake out. Personaly, I think the coconut oil  was starting to go bad. I think the heat in the car made the icing rancid!!  I have always used 1 part earth balance and 1 part shortening & it always has turned out.  Oh well......lessons learned.

Awwww! What a bummer, June. Will it firm back up in the frig?

Thanks Katy
I arrived at Sam's an hour ago. Never took a cake so far & was dubious about the new icing. Ha! Ha! It melted to oblivion!!!
Oh well. Lesson learned. Won't use it again. Will post the disaster. Good thing it wasn't a customer!!
