This is the second attempt I made on this cake. The first weekend it was actually due, we had a heatwave and my 10" cake (even though well supported) would not take the weight of the 8" cake and started leaning backwards. I dismantled and and baked totally new cakes. In the meantime, my friend called and told me her b-day boy was sick and could I freeze the cake until Halloween? Luckily, I had not started the fondant covering, etc. so I could postpone. When I went to finish it this weekend, I still had issues, but was able to pull it together and the b-day boy loved his cake.
