Purple Nightmare

My first cake disaster! I am so disappointed in myself. I was so excited to make my first 4 tier cake. I spent months deciding on the design and details and couldn't wait for it to all come together. The bottom two tiers went together just as I had planned. I had frosted the third tier the day before and when I went to decorate it, I noticed the buttercream had settled some, but not alot. I went ahead and decorated it, stacked it on the other two tiers, and was finishing up final detail, when I noticed that the frosting on one side had completely fell and cake was showing through. I still had time, so I removed the cake and completely refrosted it made new decorations and placed it back on the other two cakes....PLOP. The back side of the cake was sitting on the table! AHHH! I removed it from the stand. Ended up making a whole new 8" cake. Waited for it to cool. Frosted, new decorations. Etc. Etc. Etc. The whole time I was thinking that the third time HAD to work. Loaded up the cake, delivered to the wedding site, opened up the back of the jeep only to find that it had defeated me again. The bride was okay with how it looked, so I used it, and tried to cover up the sliding buttercream as best I could with flowers. I feel horrible! The worst part is...I'm not sure what went wrong so I can make sure it never happens again!!!!
