The classroom where the Wilton Course II class met was terribly hot on the final day of class and my icing kept getting soft. By the time I drove the 10 minutes home, my cake looked pitiful!

This was a purse cake last night. I got up this morning to take a picture and it had toppled over! I was so distraught but my kids said, "Oh well. Can we eat it?" That explains the missing slices. It was good!

This was to be a wedding cake. I think I put too much frosting under the fondant. It was also very hot and humid that weekend. I used Satin Ice fondant. Does anyone have experience and/or advice to share?
Sadly but thankfully the wedding was...

On the way to deliver this cake (4 hours early) a firetruck came across the intersection and we had to stop short, cake went flying. Live and learn, luckily I had time to bring it home and "fix" it. Arrived at the wedding around 5:30...

First fondant figure, didn't realize that putting it in the greezer would in fact not make it harden, but make it melt. Ah, so sad. At least he didn't mind falling out of the boat! TFL

Life was great until we got it in the car. With every bump the bottom started to form fissures. With the last corner and final bump the bottom couldn't take any more. Hubby stuck his thumb in it to keep it out of his lap. Once in the house, my...

At least this tasted great! I guess I made the 2 too thin, and with 4 layers it couldn't stand up and support itself. The 2 was vanilla with fresh strawberry filling and the 1/bottle was chocolate cake with fresh strawberries. Luckily, it was for...

This is the second cake I've made for my daughter's Brownie troop that collapsed en-route. It was a pretty cool topsy turvey cake, my first one that I actually carved. I used too soft of a chocolate cake though and it just collapsed in on it self. ...

This was suppose to be a beer mug cake for my sisters 21st and this is what i woke up to the next morning. I'm pretty sure it happened because I was tired and rushed and didn't let the cakes cool completely.

I'm changing the way I do the handle. This one was card stock (my aunt's method) and I knew as soon as I inserted it I went too close to the edge. Slowly, slowly, slowly, it buckled until the side fell off. 8:00pm, another cake in the oven for a...
