One of my favorite cakes & I didn’t support it properly. We didn’t know the bottom collapsed until we got to my nephew’s ceremony. He was such a gentleman about it and my sister in law said it was a good lesson in that you make the best of things when things don’t turn out right. “Funny” thing, my friend had a cake collapse that weekend too. Something was going on in the atmosphere! For some reason, I used straws for support rather than dowels. I did have a big dowel & Skewers through every cake. I think the lemon filling in the bottom contributed along with a windy country road which had my eyes popping as my husband was driving. The knots were on it because my nephew was called the “Knot Guy”. I put step by step photos in the tutorials for the eagle. I must say this was fun to make. My cousin printed the edible images for the badges.
