i went to my nieces party a month ago and she had a custom cake made.. which did similar . this time there was an heavy elephant ontop – I rescued it by simply using a smoother and pressing against the crack to bear it up again – it was fine for the 30 minutes until we cut it… (i wasn’t very impressed that the supposed experienced baker did not dowel this elephant which was on a 6 inch thick board and CLEARLY too heavy for an 8 " sponge…. I could only assume it was due to weight there….
I never fridge my cakes before fondant ? not sure if this causes it to expand? did you place the sponge layers frozen and maybe that caused things to settle?
