Ok I have my cakes cooling. But when I turned out onto the cooling racks, one of them broke clean in half. It didnt crumble or anything-just broke right smack down the middle in half because I accidentally moved the cooling rack and it half fell off. The pieces go back together. Will it be ok once I cover it with with buttercream? I suppose I will stick the broken layer as the bottom layer, do a little thicker crumb coat to in part glue it back together-then I have raspberry filling.

At least I dont feel so bad that this even happens to people who have made many more cakes than I have.

If this is just a double layer cake you're doing, I'd put the cracked one on the bottom, cover it with icing and then put the layer that's not cracked on the top of it...

Thank you! That's what I figured. It is a double layer. Nothing special-just a practice cake. Tho if it came out nice I was going to take it into work tomorrow. You can hardly tell it cracked since it was still hot when I pressed it back together lol! I moved it onto the cake board and it moved in one piece, so good sign. Off to play in frosting and do damage control.

lol.. good luck and I'm sure it will come out just fine
