the )(*^(^$#%$#@%$#$&* cake!!!!
he was transporting it to work and ...calls to say "bad news".....I knew before he described it what was wrong.....Spiderman "fell back he said and the top tier slid"....he says " I think it was too hot outside"
I TOLD HIM like *(^(&^$^% times DONT ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been up all night working on spiderman, the winnie the pooh cake and the hula girl cake.....the other cakes ( he DIDNT deliver!!) made it to their destnation JUST FINE....and he cant understand why Im so upset with him over this one. I know he has to think Im nuts crying over this cake!
I think its just the no sleep....
sorry had to vent....thanks!
edited to say the cakes he DIDNT deliver!
I had a similar problem last week -- I spent on Thursday evening decorating a two tier (6" and 10") wedding cake for my father with cornelli lace and roses on both tiers. My sister was taking the cake to him ... he called me the next morning to tell me my sister dropped the box on her way in the house and could I fix it (he needed it that evening). Well lucky for them both that I took off from work that day and he brought it to me and we did round two of the same work. Luckily I could save all but 2 roses (there were 10 total) but had to remove all icing and start over. All I remember was the episode on Ace of Cakes -- at least it wasn't in front of the customer and I had time to fix it!!! Just remember, it's going to happen at some point!
Oh, I'm so sorry!! Isn't cake delivery the most stressful part of the whole process?! Just so many things - and people! - that you have no control over. Where was Spiderman going? Did you have to do another?
oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.........that's like my worst fear.........I will NEVER send a cake with my DH unless I have NO other choice~~~So sorry this happened to you!!
That sucks. Go ahead and cry, it's tough when we put all that hard work into the cake and it's wreaked before anyone even sees it. Especially when the person was warned to be careful.
Not to add to this, but if the tier slid and spiderman fell off, maybe it wasn't the heat, maybe he braked too hard or the cake wasn't sitting flat in the car, though the heat could make the cake more supcepitble to shifting in those situations.
OH NO!! I'm so sorry about your cake!! Were you able to fix it?
no...he is already at work with it...which is 45 min away and IN the airport at that! so I couldnt if I could
he is making me a nervous wreck! he says he wil try to fix it...then starts going off about ...oh its ruined its ruined...its bad..........
I CANT SEE IT...so I cant ttell him how to fix it...besides I just keep wanting to scream ..and cry!!
OMG, I'm so sorry to hear that!!! So far, I've only transported two cakes with my DH driving. Unfortunately, two of them has been delivered during the hot humid weather. He never understands why I freak out when he 1) doesn't turn on the AC, 2) make sharp turns and 3) hit bumps on the road. I will not even start with the first incident where the icing slid off the cake. Grrrrr... that totally ruined my day. Thank God it was a freebie.
I hope you were able to fix the cake.
Sorry to hear that! I just peeked at your photos and your cakes ROCK! Especially the figurines! They are all so PERFECT! You are soooo gifted! I just adore the WTP cake!
OMG! I feel your pain! Couple months ago went to deliver cake with my brother. Husband drove. I held the larger / heavier cake while my brother held the SMALLER / LIGHTER one....
Why is it my cake arrived fine on the same trip and his shifted and cracked and slid? Same car ride... easier cake but he DIDNT follow my directions... of course now... transportation would be done much differently thanks to CC. Lessons learned the hard way!
So sorry about the cake. It's awesome or was awesome! I transported a cake too when it was hot out, but I blasted the a.c. even though I was freezing in the car. Your spiderwebs are tooooooooo cool!
BREAK HIS FINGERS!!
Just kidding!
Here's a big <<<<<HUG>>>>>> for you! I'm so sorry you're upset, wish I could make you feel better! Have the twins give you a hug!!
I think the thing that would bother me the most is that he has no clue why you're so upset!! CLUELESS!!
I can understand you crying! And being a guy he probably thinks your over reacting or something! They just dont understand that its like a part of you when you create something like that. Not to mention all the work and lets face it, its tiring to do a cake with a lot of detail!
Well hopefully he can fix it for you. So sorry!
Your cakes are awesome! I am so sorry for you!!! My DH won't drive when there is a cake in the car. He would rather stay home too! It is by far the worst part about a cake project. I don't blame you for being upset or shedding tears. I would have as well!
My boyfriend hates to carry my cakes, because he knows he will be blamed if something happens..lol...he drives, I hold the cake!
THAT WOULD SUCK! I would be extremely angry; not that something happened to the cake, but that he did something (rolled down the windows) when you specifically said NOT to. That's what would make me crazy. And it would make me even more crazy if he didn't realize the significance of the situation. Oooh, the punishment.
Maybe you can email the picture of the spidey cake to whomever was supposed to receive it, so they know what it looked like when it left your hands! Your cake was spectacular. What would we do without cameras?
Here's a spare box of Kleenex and a hug. (and a baseball bat)
Steph
I told him to go buy a spidey candle and stick ont he top for her.....
but he will probably roll down the windows and melt that too!
