So I am mixing up the MMF for my cake, when I turn around and notice that I have accidentally set my mixing bowl of filling right on top of one of the layers (layer had a dish towel over the top). I can see how this could happen in the mayhem of wildly tossing things in the kitchen while hovering over my batch of very sticky MMF. I feel a little bit like the cook from the Muppets show 
The cake was flattened on one side, which I filled in with extra buttercream and still tried to use. If you look at the picture closely you can see that the cake slopes a little bit on one side. Whoopsie
On top of that ... I tried the recipe for Strawberry Crema filling (the one with marshmallow cream, cream cheese and strawberry comstock). I must have done something wrong, it ended up being very runny. Works well as a sauce though ... which we did later with the remnants from cake leveling.
My husband says that my triangles are goofy looking and one or two of them is somewhat lopsided. I had trouble getting the fondant to curve properly around the base of the cake ... that is tricky. This was the first time I have actually draped fondant over an entire cake.
It is also time to invest in some cake boards, LOL! I have a 9" round cake sitting on a rectangular Tupperware cake taker!
There's a second picture of this cake in my Photos. I know there are many things that I still need to work on, but I don't think it turned out *too* badly. Honest feedback is certainly welcome, I am here to learn!
