Your blog was awesome – I can certainly relate to that – of all the cakes I’ve ever made – most of which turn out fine – my daughter’s engagement cake was my worst nightmare! It was three tiers and for some reason, I couldn’t get them straight – I used every trick I knew to disguise the annoying incline – the Satin Ice I used was full of pock marks and it wouldn’t cover the cake smoothly – the cricut silhouettes I purchased from a very nice cake designer kept tearing when I tried to remove them from the edible paper – so I ended up with a number of beheaded figures – not to mention a handful of broken legs and arms! Finally, while transporting the cake, the weather was so hot that the fondant started to give and the pretty flower I had secured with Royal Icing, fell off and made a hole in the bottom tier… I was so disappointed, but my daughter was a trooper and she said it was lovely – I made sure the cake was served quickly so I wouldn’t have to suffer any more!
So, I totally get it… yours turned out beautiful – congrats!!
