I hated hated hated making this cake. And it didn't help that I didn't like the design I was given. It was the middle of July and we had a week of rain here in Chicago that caused most of my town to go underwater. Luckily we were spared, but the hot and humid conditions were less than ideal for cake decorating. Keeping the kitchen cool enough for my strawberry filled cake was almost impossible. The buttercream was sweating and My horizontal fondant stripes kept sliding, bleeding black food coloring all over. After much frustration with melting frosting and sagging stripes, I'm rather pleased with the final cake considering the conditions I was working with. TFL! :)
