I made a Hamburger Cake for my nephews birthday. It was perfect, when I delivered it. My SIL had ordered the cake to take to her mom's house for a party with her family. Well, later that evening, I got a call from my nephew telling me how awesome that cake was. His grandmother told me that I'd just have to make another one before she could decide whether or not it was good. The next day, my nephew brought the leftover cake back to my house. The cake was covered in a thick smeared on icing, NOT WHAT I HAD PUT ON IT!! Heck, I didn't even recognize the cake! He laughed and told me that his mom had put the cake in the back of the SUV along with a computer monitor and the monitor turned over on the cake and SMASHED IT! The cake didn't even make it to the party in one piece. It was clear to me why grandmother needed ANOTHER ONE to decide!

Oh I am so sorry your creation was ruined!! I don't understand why people do things like that,don't they know a cake is fragile and of course a computer moniter would smash the heck out of it...

OMG!!!How awful. I try to always make sure I tell people put it somewhere to where nothing falls over on it..

I have found that common sense is sadly a thing of the past.

My nephew said the monitor had been back there for weeks and never toppled, so SIL thought it would be OK.

Under normal driving conditions it might've been OK. But, SIL has a history of not being the best driver...know what I mean? lol She could've swerved to miss a squirrell and caused it! She'll never say. She doesn't even know that I know what happened!

As long as no squirrells were harmed I can only imagine what the cake must've looked like after a computer monitor fell on it!

I'm sure there's a party picture somewhere! But, I'll never see it! LOL

Maybe for my SIL's birthday, I'll make another hamburger cake, smash it with a monitor and give it to her! OH! The look on her face!

..oh gosh, what a shame. I think I would have cried!
