Well I have had my first major cake disaster.....
I took on a chevvy car commision..and thought I would give it a go..didnt think it would be soo hard....
Baked and carved my car ..well it looked like a tank..I froze the cake before hand and for somereason when it thawed one layer went mushy.......Didnt realise this for a little while and continued in vain to try and sort my tank out I carved and carved and carved the cake got smaller and smaller but still looked liked a tank...
Gave up for the day..came back to it the next morning realised the bottom had gone funny .........whole lot in the bin....could Hvae cried 
...Got onto baking the next cake for it...decided I was on a losing battle here..called the customer and explanined I wasnt happy with the cake and and gave various options....in the end I also wasnt feeling well and have gots on this week..
In the end she still wanted a 3D chevvy car and I knew it wasnt going to happen so I had to give it to the local cake shop to do and make up the difference in money..
At least she got her cake...I got a day in bed to recover before the next lot of cakes..I hate cooking when feeling unwell and I now also know not to do cars.... 
Oh well so much for getting some money..this whole thing has left me out of pocket and worried sick and felt sick aswell...wot a good start to the week..Also feel really down cos I let myself down and feel I am no good at cakes now
Your cakes are great!! I think we all get discouraged sometimes but don't quit. You're very good at cakes. 3D cars are very difficult. I wasn't happy with my first one either. In fact, I hated it. The customer liked it, though I still can't figure out why...? Practice makes perfect. Maybe when you're up to it, you can try another sometime for practice and give it away. Wilton has a 3D car shaped pan you could try too...
Good luck. I hope you feel better soon!
