The Collapsing Slot Machine

Ok so the title of this post is "The Collapsing Slot Machine." This my friends is not a good thing. The cake was made for thanksgiving night for my dear friend Jen. She ordered it for her mom's birthday that they were celebrating on Thanksgiving. Now, Mandy my wonderful baking partner left me to go see her family for the holidays. This cake was top heavy. We never had a cake that had to stand up like this before and I did not build the structure correctly. My mom helped me do it Thanksgiving eve and we were up until 3am. I got a phone call at 8am her screaming into my ear that the cake collapsed. NOT GOOD! Jen was on her way to pick it up in a couple of hours. I had my whole family trying to figure out a way to fix the cake and it was just not happening. I had to give it to her lying on its back. Big disappointment. It was a terrible feeling. We learned so much from this cake. 
i hope this never happens again!
Lessons! 
-Allow more time to decorate a cake! 
-Make sure we can build a solid structure before agreeing to a client! 
-Move on and learn from the experience!
-Make a spectacular cake for Jennifer's 25th birthday that will make her forget about this one! BAH!

  2. The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can
    be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
