I decided that for my cousins graduation from dental hygeine I would make her the coolest 3-D tooth cake. I spent alot of time planning and double checking that I had all the supplies I needed. My plan was a 4 layer high carved tooth wearing a graduation cap.
I also though since this is my first 3-d cake that I should have some sort of back up plan. So for that I sculpted a tooth out of stryofoam and covered it in fondant that I would put on a 8 inch & 10 inch tiered cake, just in case.
SO, yesterday I started baking at 9 am, cooled & stacked and in the freezer by 2. (I have 2 small children that like to distract me when ever I have a big project) Started carving after dinner, frosted, and to where I stepped back and thought "WOW I DID IT!"... So I went to bed thinking WOOHOO, I didn't need that back up plan. That's whan it happened! Sometime over the night, it COLLAPSED!
I went in at 7:30 am to find the most horrifying tooth "cavity". The party is at 1! Back up plan here I come....
Here's a few pics for you to enjoy.
Oh my! I'm so sorry this happened to you. I would probably scream if this happened to me. I wonder why it fell apart. I'm looking at the way you stacked the cake. Maybe it was because you layers are done vertically rather than horizontally? Ohhh this really sucks!!!
Thank you everyone, I was really upset this morning, but my cousin loved tha cake she did get and that's all that really matters, RIGHT?

They weren't vertical, that's just how they ended up 
... My guess is that the carving in between the "roots" and the divit at the top was just too much stress for it... It broke in 4 pieces, right where I carved the top! OH WELL, live and learn, I just wish it was a little easier to take!
ok sooo by reading the title i thought that you were feeling the same pain i am ( i had a molar pulled tuesday and im in major pain...) but now i see your pain is probally far worse than mine... id feel horrible too... sooo sorry...hopefully you can find a way to do it... it would be a cute cake... good luck in the future!!!
Ouch - that is one painful tooth! lol
The backup plan was nice.
