I'm very new to cake decorating and have only made one fondant tiered cake before. I always bring my desserts to work for them to try out and give me feedback. Well one of my bosses like my first cake so much she asked me to make a cake for her sister's baby shower.
I warned her that i'm new to this and would not make any promises on how the cake turned out. Told her i would make a practice cake to see if I was able to actually make one. Practice cake turned out better than expected and she loved it.
Told her i would be able to make the cake and asked her for flavors, fillings, etc....She wanted white cake with cream cheese icing, and that's exactly what i did.
I deliver the cake 30 minutes to a meet up spot, look in the back and the fondant has shifted to the side!!!!! The only thing i can think of is the temperature has been in the 100's for the past 2 weeks and the cream cheese icing didn't hold the fondant. BUT atleast she got to see that the first boot cake turned out awesome, right?
I use marshmallow fondant and my past 2 cakes with MMF have been refrigerated with no issues such as melting or being sticky.
I'm ready to pack up my baking stuff for awhile.

And to top it off when i went to put the decorations on, the stupid maitre d picks up my rosary to take a look at it and breaks the thread holding all together 
Did I mention that this was all done in front of the client and their guests because they arrived at the venue an hour and a half early and the maitre d wouldnt let me prepare the cake it the kitchen. 
Horrible horrible day.
It has been a lifesaver for me in these summer months.
