If anyone can look at these photos and tell me what happened i would so appreciate it. this is not the first time i have had this problem. i use dh butter cake mix, iced with buttercream(the recipe that is just butter, powdered sugar, milk. no crisco) covered in fondant. I don't know the problem is structural support or the cake or the icing--no clue. help!!!

It looks like PROBABLY a support issue however, I have NEVER had good luck with boxed cake mixes and fondant!! They just don't seem to be able to hold the weight! I now make all of my cakes from scratch and have MUCH better luck. Sometimes it can be more expensive, however, the end result (for me atleast) is better. Hope it works out for you!

I use box mixes and the fondant works. But I use Choco-Pan and can roll it really really thin, so maybe that's the difference.
