The story that backs up just one of the disasters on this couple's wedding day is priceless! It will truly be a day they will never forget. It was the mistakes and mishaps in my wedding I remember the most...a groomsmen wearing neon orange socks, the aisle runner breaking and having to be cut with a pocket knife and kicked down the aisle, a bird pooping on my dress...thankfully no cake disaster though!

AYou snapped at the perfect moment. Love the way you do the watermark. May have finally convinced me to add them to my photos. So unobtrusive.

And that's why you secure the cake to the stand. Haha

Awesome and memorable photo! Great job capturing it at just the right moment. They sound like a great couple who will be able to laugh at themselves every time they see it. :)

How do you secure a cake to the stand?

double sided tape or hot glue--

 

there's lots of ways

 

you could plant a skewer pointing up into a foam board that was taped to the stand--and set the cake down onto the skewer--you'd want a hole in the cake board to ease it on--or use a rose nail upside down--

 

you could tape a smaller board to the stand and glue a piece of shelf liner onto that and glue a piece of shelf liner to the bottom of the cake board--that would not slide

well Relznik, picture 5 tiers of pretty cupcakes with the 6th tier on top being a small cake.

the knife goes in, the cake goes down, all the way to the floor.  You can probably picture this in your mind as you may think of everything that can go wrong when your decorating you own cakes. (as many of us do)

Thank you, MBalaska. 

 

It's showing now though.  OMG!  How absolutely awful for the couple.

 

I must confess, it's never occurred to me to secure a small cutting cake to the top of a cupcake tower....  food for thought!

I wasn't able to see the image either, I think because of the trailing / at the end of the url, when I typed it in manually and left that out I got the whole page...

Wonderful shot, and I think they handled it well, although I am pretty sure if it was me and my hubby we would have been doubled over laughing once the initial shock wore off! :D

I LOVE the little boy on the floor off to the left with his tongue out :D  "Oh boy floor cake!!!"  The pictures are beautiful, the cake and cupcakes were beautiful too.

What a fantastic capture of a moment that will live on in the minds of the couple (and their guest's) for the rest of their lives.
