Here is a before and after picture of a cupcake cake that I made for my cousins son. It was 44 cupcakes and my first time using my new projector, the cake cake out perfect. When we were leaving the house to go to the party I slipped down the stairs with the cake in my hands and yes you know the rest... Th cake came tumbling after.
This is my worst fear come true, I can't believe this happened, I am devistated. I had to run to the store and buy emergency cupcakes so instead of making $50 that I charged I had to spend $50 out of my own pocket ($30 on cupcakes and $20 for the gift). I am never delivering a cake again even if I am going to the party. Thanks for reading.

WOW, just wow, I am so sorry to hear that. Dont give up on bringing cakes though. Perhaps you could have the cake already at the bottom of the stairs waiting for you? As in leaving it there a few hours before so if you slip again, you still have time to rebake?

my sympathies...
but better the cake broke than you broke!

Oh my goodness... I'm so sorry!

Better the cupcakes than you though!

I am so sorry, my heart just breaks for you. Don't give up on delivering cakes though, remember that we learn from our mistakes.

i'm soo sorry this happened to you!! they looked great though!!

One question, how do you get the top to look so great (and like a regular cake) when it is made with cupcakes? I hope that question makes sense.

oh goodness --how sad--i have this fear & then you had to clean it up--so so so sad

Oh no. I'm so sorry for you! It looked wonderful!

I just want to say thanks to all of you for your comments and support you are all great!

Yes, then I had to clean it up This is how I looked while cleaning it up so my DH took over because he knew how devistated I was. He sat with me the entire time I was decorating so he felt the pain too.


Thanks

Oh Jackie I'm sooo sorry!!! The cupcake cake was beautiful and I feel your pain.

Big hugs to you!! ~Denise

BTW--i did forget to tell you that your cake looked amazing--if you hadn't of said it was a cupcake cake (or i hadn't seen the pic) i would have NEVER known, you did a great job with that CCC!

AGAIN--i'm so sorry

Your cake looked brilliant! lm sorry this happened to you.

Your CCC looked amazing!!!!! I am so sorry this happened to you! It is one of my worst fears with making and taking a cake!!

I also have steps, but have never had a slip with a cake. I am soooo very careful.
I have never made a cupcake cake, but will try sometime. I have learned lots from your fall. I do hope you are OK as that could have been a bone breaker also.

OMG that suck... my biggest fear is dropping a wedding cake - I'm sure this has happened and can't imagime what the heck I would do!

** Those looked awesome!

aww jackie, sorry that happened toyou! that was a gorgeous cake! That's always so frustrating when something like that happens after putting so much sweat and tears and energy into something
Please dont throw in the towel on delivery or anything else for that one mishap-for every one that drops there are hundreds more that make it unscathed so remember that and hugs to you cause I know that feeling. the one where you for a while. Let me tell you though in a few years from now you'll be about it. In the mean time keep on trucking with your beautiful work!

That cake was so nice-sorry that happened! They really went flying, didn't they?!
