This was my first cake diaster. To start with I was having a horrible icing day. Both my BC and RI were very soft and I couldn't get them to firm up. We had to drive 2.5 hrs to my nephew's baptism. I took the cake in separate tiers and when we got there, the layers ot the top tier had slid apart. To make it worst it was filled with CBC so when I uprighted it and re spred the icing, the top layer was tan!! Luckily I had brought extra icing and was able to re-ice over the brown layer. Then, the cross wasn't dry (the original broke) and wouldn't stand up, so I eventually had to lay in down. Ahh!! Luckily, it was only for family, but it did taste really good.
