I am fairly new to the decorating biz. This time though I just plain and simple screwed up. I got an order for a babyshower cake, specifically the bathtime ducky in the 2003 Wilton yearbook. The shower was for a friend's sister and would be on a Saturday. I started making the fondant bubbles and soap on Thursday. I baked the cakes early Friday morning and started decorating them late that evening due to prior obligations. Although I am a perfectionist and would say otherwise, everything was going well. I finished decorating, took pictures and called it a night. The next morning I asked our little girl if she had seen the finished cake, she said no so we went to take a look together. Lo and behold the duck was laying on the table. I could have cried but thanks to her I laughed. She said "it's still pretty and people will eat it; the ducky just couldn't swim." I decided to pull myself together and start over. My mother called to see how everything had gone and I gave her the sad news. She volunteered to bake the round cake for me so I could finish on time. Thank God for mommies!!!!!!!! What went wrong you ask??? I placed the duck on it's own cake board, stuck dowel rods in it, BUT forgot to stick the center one through the duck and into the round cake. I also forgot to put the dowel rods on the bottom cake. DOH!!! I was able to finish the cake in time for the shower, dowels and all. Thanks to my mommie of course. I am hoping I can upload this picture correctly as this is my first time posting one.
Wow..I feel for you! I think it was sweet what your daughter said...she was just tyring to look on the bright side! Glad to hear things worked out in the end...your cake is just adorable!!
Your cake is beautiful! Sorry to hear that the first one didn't "make" it! Well, if it wasn't for mistakes we wouldn't learn anything!
I just love what your daughter said, what a darling!
