This cake was a gift for a friends birthday so i wanted to try something ive never done (two things ive never done really, topsy turvy and a 3 tier cake). By the time i stacked the tiers it became obvious that i didnt use the right/enough supports and it was slowly but surely crushing itself from the weight. by the time i got the cake fully decorated it was ready to fall over, this is where i grabbed the first picture. Her party wasnt until night and i knew there was no way it was going to stay up as shortly after the picture the bottom tier split in a few places so i pulled the top two tiers off hoping they would at least survive the night. The drive nearly killed them and after 5 minutes of sitting on the table at her house the top tier fell off the bottom lol (at least its funny now!). Despite how unbelievably mortified i was my friend assured me she she still loved the cake and was so thrilled i made it for her, which helped me feel better about the ordeal. She also informed me all her guests told her they couldnt eat just one piece and that everyone had several because it was so delicious. So in the end i definitely learned my lesson and i was happy i got to have that learning experience with such a great, understanding friend!

The cake was also a beautiful dark purple btw, i tried several cameras and they all turned it blue in the pictures!
