So, I was making a cupcake tower with a 8in cake on the top tier for a 12th anniversary party tomorrow. I believe this was the worst experience I have ever had with a cake. I was supposed to be a 3 layer round cake covered in fondant with a black bow. Simple enough right.....The first two layers of the cake were perfect, the 3rd layer crumbled on me when I tried to level it. So I just made it a 2 layer (figured it was the easiest way to fix the problem) and went on to add the fondant. Used Duff's bc fondant for the 1st time. Well his definition of white, is not white
. So I was going to have 50 white bc cupcakes and an off white cake on top. I was not happy!!! But it didn't really matter because the fondant was so soft and oily it kept tearing when I was trying to cover the cake! So I pulled it all off and trashed it because I was sooo frustrated. Now I don't have a finished cake for my order tomorrow!
S/N: I doing this away from home (actually out of state) and don't have all of my normal supplies with me. AND....the closest bakery supply store or craft store to buy some premade fondant is over a hour away!!! What was I thinking when I agreed to do this....
