It finally happened. I had my first cake disaster. This is a wedding cake for a couple who were so excited for thier Halloween topsy turvy wedding cake. I set it up, it looked great, and I left. Exactly 1 hour before the start of the reception, I get a call from the reception site, and am told that the cake just tipped over. I have no clue what I did wrong, but the supports clearly weren't right. The whole back side of the cake blew out. So off I went back to try and salvage what I could before the bride and groom got there. I think we (my sister helped) did a good job, and hopefully the bride wasn't too crushed. We had to cut the backside of the cake out, and I ended up putting a bucket in the back with a juice glass on top of it to support the top tier. I feel terrible about the whole thing, but live and learn I guess... The top image is of the fixed cake. The bottom image is what it was supposed to look like :)
