OK- so I offer to make my brother's wedding cakes for free- as my gift to them........they were too excited about that!
I get to the reception hall to set the cakes up, and my future sister in law's aunt and cousin were there to do the decorations.......I start doing my thing ya know, and the aunt tells me- she used to decorate cakes and this and that...and all. She was really getting on my nerves.....anyway, I am almost done with the bride's cake (Four tier stacked square and round with handmade pearls that I worked on for a week to make- and 3 dozen fondant/chocolate roses)........and they decide they have to leave to get more supplies.......so I say OK- when I'm really thinking Thank GOD! I finish up and get changed because I was also in the wedding party and had to be at the rehearsal, so I turn down the A/C, lock up, and leave. I get done at rehearsal, go back to the reception hall to finish decorating and setting up the groom's cake- the aunt meets me at the door! She tells me the cake FELL! I'm like WHAT!???? There is NO WAY THAT CAKE FELL! It was very well doweled on each tier with a center dowel in the center! So, I go in and it's like 100 degrees in the hall! I'm was so upset! The entire bottom layer was gone and so was middle and the top! I asked them why it was so HOT in there, and they tell me they got COLD! I'm like DUH! There's a cake in here- ! I said no, the cake did not FALL- IT MELTED!!!!! I can't understand it, because they were working with fresh flowers- so doesn't it have to be cold to keep the looking pretty?
It took me all night, but I finally fixed it to at least be presentable. For the groom's cake, I had intended to make a replica of my brohter's drum set, but only got to make one drum and had to use the other cakes to fix the bride's cake. I totally feel like I was sabotaged! I really think they did it on purpose because they were jealous! It was so pretty- and I did not even get a picture before it melted! I will post a picture of the salvaged one when I get it, but it was not the same.........at least the bride to be got to see it before it fell or rather Melted.....she just so happened to stop by on the way to rehearsal and was so proud of all of my hard work.
Sorry to be so long winded, but I knew you guys would understand!

How petty of them, and on your brother's wedding day. If they were that "cold" they should of stepped out of the room or put on a sweater. I'm sorry but I think I would have lost it and went off on someone. I'm so sorry you had this special day ruined and what they did is childish and unforgivable. Take care.
At least the bride got to see it before hand.
