Baby Shower Cake Disaster Prequel

Chocolate cake with mixed berries filling. Thanks LaSombra for your awesome choc. cake recipe! Lessons learned: 1stly, MAKE SURE CENTER DOWEL GOES INTO FOAMCORE BOARD! 2ndly, torting each layer wasn't smart/necessary! 3rdly (beyond my control) humidity kills the integrity of MMF! Never made it the 2-3 hour drive to my cousin's shower - heck, never made it to the end of my uphill driveway!!! Very delicious though!

Thank you. Actually the laces were the hardest part to do. Everytime I thought I had made the holes big enough and tried to roll the laces out thin enough (even though I used my sugar craft extruder) the laces were difficult to get through, would dry quickly and break. That's why the second one isn't event tied. lol

Is really good! I think you are more worried than you should be. How clever. ;-D Humidity is not fondant's friend. :evil:

Thanks all! I'm just glad that I have a handle on why it happened and that if I ever decide to attempt this one again I know what to do differently and hopefully come out with much better results!
