This cake almost did not make it, I used a bigger dowel than usual do and it lifted the middle tier which was a cake dummy up off the bottom tier, I was in a panic and started trying to push it back down which damaged the fondant on the dummy tier, and this was about 4am, I woke my DH up and he hammered the dowel out of the cake and then we started repair the cake. I was worrying about how I was going to fix the damage to the middle tier so I said a pray and 2 hrs of sleep later, I add flowers, Phew!
