Im sorry to hear that. If you can make or have extra icing, and filling, why don't you take it apart, try to gently carefully clean it around the edges, pipe a dam with the icing, and add more filling if you need. Yes and put a dowel through both cakes, if you can, if you can cover it up with a decoration to secure it "just in case".

HTH,


Jenn
