OK well everything was going great! I was waiting for icing to stiffen a little to viva it.. and I already added some of the decoration like screen and mousepad.. Was standing perfectly not leaning and wasnt shakey... I took a break came checked a few forums.. Go back in kitchen..... icon_eek.gif
This is what I found! icon_surprised.gif
Shall I say more! icon_cry.gif
Now I am like what to do I am working on another cake due tomorrow as well... All I can do now is sit down BREATH and read forums to step away...

Sorry this happened, but It looks just like someone got finished with their laptop and closed it. And what kind of Daiquiri?

ok umm for the writing I used piping gel (never used it before either probablly did it wrong to.lol).. It was on my first time second MMF batch.. Dont know if I had it right but It looked good before it fell! HAHA
AS to did I use any dowels?? OH yeah I even did the buffy dager way dowel, by sharping to a point and sticking down in the cardboard... I had dowels thru the bottom layer sticking into the bottm edge of cake standing on side.. Then had dowels thru the standing up part to so I probablyy had like 9 or 10 dowels in this thing.. HAHA OK so I was trying to keep it from falling but guess I did it wrong still icon_eek.gif
At least I attempted something new out of my comfort zone but holy I had disaster after Disaster first the MMF mixing experience was icon_surprised.gif .. Surprising the MMF turned out ok seemed to be when I threw in the second batch for the cake since my first batch of MMF was ahhh can we say crunchy due to the Bowl incident... lol Ok here is that forum in case you really need a good laugh...

Just sharin the pain.. rotfl
Needless to say WOW! icon_eek.gif That was a interesting few days...
Ok so how did it turn out..... well it turned out in the trash cause, I tried to lay it out flat was gonna do something else with it and got globs of icing and cake everywhere and I went into other room came back.. icon_sad.gif My dog was standing up counter surfing so I said that does it this is not a cake for me to do... Toss that nightmare to the boogie man! I think of it as giving the trash men a interesting snack! HAHAHA!
