Remember all my post about Color Flow????? Well I finally have pictures of the Sesame Street cake I made last weekend. Color Flow went flawlessly until I snapped Big Birds head off 
That was ok because I had a ton of other pieces (went prepared thanks to the advice from this site). 
I had to travel 50 miles with the cake and assemble it when I got there. I went through two horrible rain storms, road construction and then, like a bad movie, some loss a ton of cotton stuffing and it was flying around and sticking to everyone's wet cars. I was thinking, "Is this really happening?"
Made to the party 15 minutes AFTER the party had started and had to assemble the cake with 20 people watching. I was already nervous but to have an audience watch me assemble my first three tier cake was just horrible. On top of that it was one of those high table that you sit at with bar stool type chairs and the cake was in the middle of the table so my back was killing me as I tried to assemble it stretching across the table, as the table was already decorated for the party since I was late!
On top of that the top layer "shifted" during transport and I stacked the cake, in my nervous state, not centered so I played it off as a "whimsical cake".
As I write this I probably should have posted this in cake disasters but anyway, here is the finished cake......... Thanks to everyone for all your tips on color flow........... I learned so much with this cake.
