First Wedding Cake Due Tomorrow! Help!!
Decorating By clever_cakes311 Updated 31 Aug 2006 , 1:35pm by Dustbunny
Ok so I am really kicking myself for volunteering to make my friends' wedding cake, getting married on Saturday. Not only that, but somehow I was also suckered into doing the grooms cake. I am using the Wilton floating tiers stand so there's no cake construction involved. I have finished the top and middle tier and they look great. I started the grooms cake and just got so rushed and flustered that I wound up destroying it 
Since I'm doing this for free, I told my friends that the only stipulation is that I deliver the cakes tomorrow and store them at the reception site refridgerator since Saturday is my birthday and I am visiting my parents out of state. So that means I have to drop them off tomorrow.
I still have a 14" round bottom tier and an 8" round for the grooms cake. I tried making a practice 14" last week with the heating core and it was a disaster. The middle actually cooked faster than the outer edge. It looked like a volcano had erupted!!! 
So my question is, can I really knock out all of this tonight (since I'm working during the day) or am I just doomed?? And will the cakes be ok refridgerated til Saturday? (I have the first 2 tiers frozen right now) Help!!
Everything will be ok!
You may be staying up a little later than you normally do, but you can get this done tonight. 
For the 14'', what temp was your oven at? Maybe you can try lowering it a little bit (to ~ 325) and cooking it for longer. Instead of using the heating core, try using 2-3 upside down flower nail in the pan. If you have baking strips, use them.
The cakes should be fine refrigerated untill Saturday.
Good Luck!
