AI think if you are honest with your bride she'll understand. Just use this cake for show and serve other cakes that you can buy (I assume you cant make fruitcake overnight) dont worry..your cake looks awesome and your rat pet is so cute. Don't let others get you down! You just keep doing what you're doing and you wont have to worry about any future customer orders. Good luck!:grin:

AYou are disgusting. Burn it.

This has given me a good morning giggle. To think that anyone would serve a cake that's had rats running wild on it is totally insane. If you were down at your local restaurant & discovered that out back in the kitchen there were rats having a party in the ingredients, would you go back there to dine? I certainly wouldn't & would call the authorities who would hopefully give them a very large fine and shut them down. This is what gives home bakers a bad name. I dare say this is all a wind up and guests won't be eating that cake.

ADamned weenie-dragging rats - wrecking that, um ... lovely cake.

ACake central is why I never eat cake at weddings, unless I made it. Animals with access to cakes, video tutorials with unsanitary habits, advice on how to serve rat feces cake, cakes in garages! Seriously... Disgusting.

AI already questioned other's sanitation practices with all foods. I absolutely hate buffets, and try to investigate who made what at potlucks. This justifies my suspicions of repulsive kitchen habits.

A1. Crack the icing off and re-do it.

or

2. Lick it clean.

or

3. Pee on it yourself. They say urine is sterile, right? So you'll be "sterilizing" it.

:princess:

well i taled  the bride and found out that the wedding is tonight, so i just wiped it down with vodka to kill any germs and busted the flowers off and used some silk ones stuck on with more royal. it dried real fast but some of them slipped a little bit so they are uneven.O well nothing i can do now!!!!!!!!!!!!  I got the cake up there right as the guests were coming in and i was still in my flip flobs from my petty and i had rollers in my hair so i just ran in to tell you guys what wuz up and i got to get reddy to get turned up and go back!!!!! I didnt even get a picture so i hope i get up there before they cut it!!!!!!! and rats are cute. hasnt anbody saw ratatooey the movie with the rats in the kitchen cooking? it is a cute movie and we kiss our rats on the mouth the same we do our kids.how would i tell if i have boy rats our girl rats? I don't want to eat something a weenie was drug across. lolololol (is that how you use that?) and if your so smart, how do you set on fire a cake? it is cake not wood our oll. and FLEAS caused the bubonic plauge NOT RATS!!! i thought i could get some good advise and some of yous is just bean mean. GEEZ!!!!!!! 

AHmmmm. Now I am craving flip flobs.

When I saw this thread surface again I went, not this again!

You sorry, imma say it too - I can't believe you valued your $300 over the health and safety of the poor people that ate that cake.  You should have NEVER agreed to make it in the first place if you are so ignorant to food safety that you not only didn't have the common sense to throw the cake away and call Wal Mart for a replacement, but that you took a photo to post on a website that photos stay on FOREVER and is the largest image pool of cake photos that Google pulls from.  So congratulations... maybe there was never a "OMG MY PET RAT WAS PLAYING ON MY FRIEND'S WEDDING CAKE" before (and you should have taken THAT as a sign)  but you created one for the world so we can gross out at you forever.

Just, wow.

Cake Central is a place for us to come together for help - tips - support etc.  There isn't a person on here that is going to read your post and take your side that vodka killed all the little germies and that you should have sent that cake to be served anyway  - but how about we send this thread to the entire guest list and let them be the judge?  I mean, we don't know you, we don't know your little rodents, but maybe they do and are totally OK with all this.  Lets send it out - got a facebook of the photographer or the mother of the bride?  I mean, we all may be big meanies and bullies and are making you cry and stuff.  How about you ASK THE PEOPLE THAT ATE THAT DISGUSTING CAKE AND SEE WHAT KIND OF REACTION YOU GET FROM THEM?  If it's 1/2 as nice as we are I'd be shocked.  But then again, the world regularly shocks me at how disgusting it is so whatever.

I wouldn't be surprised if you're trying to save a buck by not washing your hands with soap after you use the bathroom. The mind boggles.

AI think she should have peed on it herself. :D

Or she could have made a snow cake as a replacement.

Today is Friday the 13th, I think this is a sick joke.

guess who's not online anymore.......
