This post is at the top of my watch list, but when I click on it it tells me it longer exists and then the forum is listed as private holding area.. what does that mean.. what happened?

I don't know what a "private holding area" is either, but the last thing I saw was the OP requested the thread be removed by the moderator. Although there were a lot of nice comments, there were a few that may have been considered not nice.

Last I heard there was no resolution on the cake problem and transportation to fix it, but the general consensus was since the cake was not dowelled, the OP should consider a full refund.

That black and white cake was lovely. Very unfortunate that it didn't hold together structurally.

ahhh.. yes it was a beautiful cake, she has much talent. too bad it down I was wondering if the MIL ever sent pics or if she gave a refund
