Okay, I think this counts because if I hadn't noticed it the whole cake would have been a goner.
While working on the Surviving 30 cake, I had the cake angled on the turntable while I wrote on it. When I turned it around to write on the back, I noticed the flowers seemed really close to the edge of the cake board. It finally dawned on me that I hadn't put enough icing under the cake to hold to the board. The cake was slowly slipping off the board!
SO, I had to carefully turn the cake around and leave it slanted the other way until it slid back on the board a bit. Now I know how important it is to place a large glob of icing on the board to hold the cake!
