I'm sorry you're having trouble with it. Those things are tough to get the hang of. Can you give us a little more info about it? How many tiers and what sizes? Sometimes if you put too much filling in the layers will slide right off. The filling should be very thin unless it's buttercream.

it is the bottom tier and the sizes are 10,11,12. i put very little buttercream for filling. its not sliding it is like pulling apart at the tallest part of the cake almost seems to be cracking in half.

I read in one of the forums about this exact problem and they "girdled" the cake with wax paper and taped the paper go that it was tight around the area that was falling apart and stuck it in the fridge and somehow this worked to save the cake...damn I've been on this sight and the search engines so many times today I cant remember where i saw it! I'm looking if I find it I will post the link.

thanks for the info I had the problem fixed until the cake had to bit outside for a bit then the heat got to it I guess this cake was just doomed to not make it to the fair. Oh well maybe next year.
