I stepped out of the room for two mins and my 2 year old decided to stick his toy in my cake. Can this be fixed? or am I better off starting over??

Thanks!!!

yes, it can be fixed. It's buttercream, right? Take some more and smooth it on. Very simple. Let it crust a tad and do the Melivra method for really smooth (unless you're really good with an icing spatula!)

No worries...it can be fixed. I'd remove any "chunks" then refrost the area. Let dry and rub w/ a Viva. Poor little man...he just told you it was a toy...it was really his finger.

Yes it is buttercream. I think after I stopped crying like a baby I can start to think and realize it can be fixed.

That looks like it would be some what of a simple fix.

Since you did not specify- I'm assuming the toy was not dragged around on the floor or placed in the child's mouth. I'm also assuming it was properly sanitized directly right before your child grabbed it and stuck it into the cake.

I'm assuming this because: a child's dirty toy or finger is no different that a cat paw. I don't want either touching my food or the utensils that touch my food.

When in doubt- throw it OUT!

Actually it ended up being one of my dowel rods that he took off the dishwasher. I found it on the floor a few mins later with icing on it and my floor!!

Guess he saw mommy poking it in her cake so he thought he could too!!!
