Thank you so much for sharing this and I am sure there are many who have experiences some sort of mishaps when delivering a cake. I always carry a repair kit and have started making extra flowers or decorations should any fall, break or get damaged in any way.
My own wedding cake cracked on the day as it was so hot and I was devastated. It was all painted so there was no way of hiding it and then I came up with the idea of placing some fresh flowers around the cake where the cracks were. No one noticed, everyone complimented me on how gorgeous the cake looked and looking at the photos now I think the flowers actually look better on the cake anyway!! ;)
One thing I always do is give myself plenty of time when delivering, use a trolley and take a few bits in at a time, if I can I try and take the cake in tiers. I smile at everyone I meet to stay calm and if I can take someone with me. Having someone to talk to always helps!
