For one wedding I was so proud that I had completed the cake with 2 hours to spare and delivery was only 10 minutes away. As the saying goes, "pride goeth before a fall".

When I got to the reception, I was asked about the groom's cake. I had completely forgotten about it! I apologized and told them to give me two hours and I would have it. I zoomed home, baked, cooled, cut and covered the board, decorated, and then delivered the cake in two hours. The guests were just coming in, so they didn't realize how badly I had blown it. God watches over idiots. icon_smile.gif

I now triple check my orders for any detail and I changed my order form to let me know everything for more than one cake.

Excellent job! Fast Thinkin'! Good thing the groom's cake wasn't terribly complicated and you were able to complete on time!

Way 2 Go!

Wow! Impressive! I would've gone out and bought a cake and decorated it. I don't think I could've gotten it done in two hours.

I have forgotten a cake before and I thought the customer would be completely mad but she was like, "That's ok, can you make it for tomorrow?" I think i would have blown my top!

That happened to me one time...but it was a birthday cake. They called wanting to know when they could pick up. Oops!! Party was in two hours. It was a bowling cake. I made, cooled, and decorated and delivered right before they needed it. That is too much pressure... but my real horror is forgetting a wedding!! I can really feel for you!! Great save.

They should have paid extra for an extremely fresh cake. LOL

Wow! I thought it would take at least two hours just to cool!
Newbie here.
Just how long does a cake have to cool before frosting?
