Ugh! At 11PM I was about to ice my FULL SHEET cake. I propped it on the edge of the table to get the crumbs off the board and it slid out of my hands and on to the floor. You can just imagine some of the naughty words I said on that one. The cake is due at 9AM. It was a layer of Chocolate and a layer of Vanilla cake (of course). Luckily I had ingredients to do it over and a huge oven to bake both layers at once. It took me 1 hour and 45 minutes to mix, bake, and decorate with corporate logo and balloons. Whew...a world record.

I hate it when things like that happen!

jenn, your cakes are beautiful! if anyone could have pulled it off, it would have been you! great job! i'm sure your clients appreciate it!

I aree with riagirl, your cakes are awesome. I especially loved the boarder treatment on the sweetsixteen cake. Very cool.

sorry to hear about your late night butterfingers. Happens to all of al least once. Hope you get to catch up on your sleep tonight.

I'm a little bleary this morning but OK! Thanks everyone.

Pinkopossum your avatars always make me giggle.

It was so funny... while I was crawling around on the floor last night scooping big hand fulls of cake into the trashcan, I was thinking "I should take a picture of this for my cc pals." It just exploded when it hit the floor. Too bad I didn't have the camera.

I don't think I would have handled it as well as you did! I probably would have started crying! Glad you had the extra ingredients and time to remake the cake. I've almost done this myself a couple of times. I get into a hurry sometimes when I'm working in the kitchen. My biggest worry is transporting a finished cake. I always take them out to the garage and place them in a spare refrigerater we keep there. Every trip down the stairs to the garage I imagine myself tripping and landing in my cake. Hasn't happened yet, but just last week I slipped on the same steps while taking some laundry down... so, hopefully when it does happen I'll be as collected as you!

Wow, that was done in record time! I couldn't have finished it that fast.
