Well, I've definitely had a few stressful cakes that I thought I'd NEVER finish in time, but last weekend, I had my first "disaster"....

It was just a 1/2 sheet cake with buttercream icing & buttercream roses....(this customer ALWAYS wants the same cakes and I am so tired of buttercream roses!! lol)....But anyway.....The cake was fine....I put the cake in a box lid instead of in a regular cake box. And I usually cover it with saran wrap. OK, so about 30 minutes before the customer is supposed to pick the cake up, I get out the saran wrap to cover it. WELL....Just as I was pulling the end of saran wrap, it pulled the WHOLE ROLL out of the box and ONTO the cake! It totally destroyed 2 roses and went across the cake and flattened the border on the other side. GREAT! I had already thrown out my icing in the color. There was just a TINY bit left in the bag. So, I patched it up, but it still looked terrible! The lady's husband picked the cake up, so I don't know her reaction. I did cut $5 off the cake price! He said "OH man, I'm sure it ruined the taste!" haha. I guess I"ll find out what she thought when she calls next weekend for another cake!

Don't you just love it! Your in good company!! When you can, read some of the disaster stories on here

ouch, at least the husband was cool with it though.
