Had an order for a sheet cake due tomorrow. Baked cake and froze it. Leveled torted and filled it and then picked up the spatula that I had used to scrape down the butter cream frosting with and thought I'd better taste this before I put it on the cake....... Butter was rancid. Yeah the package that the unsalted butter came in stated "award winning unsalted butter". Thank goodness I didn't frost that cake with it, threw the whole thing out and started all over...but first had to run to the store for powdered sugar since I'd just used my last 3 pounds. Have to go so I can write a very nasty e-mail. And by the way, the expiration date was 11-28-08. arrgggg

So sorry this happened to you!. I am glad you found out before you decorated and even worse yet delivered it and they tasted it!

How frustrating for you. I hope the cake finished up nicely for you.

Personally, I hate making the icing...or even baking the cake. It makes such a mess. LOVE the decorating part, hate the prepping.

Let us know how it turned out.

OH NO! I hope that you can get it finished in time. Thankfully you tasted the BC before putting it on the cake. I hope your next batch turns out wonderfully!

Second batch turned out great. I received a phone call today from the customer saying it was the most delicious cake they had ever had. Pays to taste I guess. Here it is, I left a big open spot for her to place a tiny china tea pot and cups.

That is a very cute cake ~ I love the candle effect along the border.

Thanks for sharing ~

My cardinal rule "If I don't taste it, you don't eat it". I'm glad everything turned out ok for you. The cake is very cute.

It came out soo cute, im glad you tasted it before putting it on the cake!
