So, You Think You Have Had A Bad Day.....................
Decorating By Janette Updated 22 Sep 2007 , 9:37pm by darrahmomof3
I have a 4 tier wedding cake, 14" 12" 10" 8", due tomorrow at 4pm.
Husband I went to carry it from the counter to the table. The worse happened, it just tumbled over. Husband is out buying mixes as I write this. I'm taking a breather, I have a long night ahead of me.
It's 11pm one more hour and I will have a new day. Maybe that one will be better.
it's gonna be fine. but, you're right, that really sucks. take a deep breath and get to baking lady!
maybe you can think about Halloween decorations while things cookin'! (i can't tear myself away from the stores lately 
)
good luck!
lightning won't strike twice
OMG!! I am soooo sorry ! Was it all finished ? Or undecorated ??I dont know much about the steps in which wedding cakes work. I hope it will go smooth for you ! GOOD LUCK !
I just put a pot of hot coffee on your front porch (adding the contents of the little brown bag beside it are totally optional) 
Good luck tonight...It will be a long one, but you can do it.
(I love your ticker for Halloween...totally my favorite holiday...which reminds me that I should either be working on my cakes for the weekend or sewing some costumes!)

OMG Janette I soooo wish I loved close by I would be over there in a second. 
This is horrible. I'll be thinking about you all night. GOOD LUCK! (((HUGS)))
OMG! Janette, I'm so sorry! I'd be there in a heartbeat to help you!
Oh you poor poor thing.. (((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))) I wish I could help you bake those cakes again. I hope that it wasn't complete when it happened. I dread this happening to me someday.. I hope that your DH can help you with all of the mixing and baking so it's not so daunting. Try to see a bright side (as hard as that is).. at least it happened now and not with 3 hours to go. I'll be thinking of you tonight.
I'm so sorry Janette! You know the gang would be there in a heartbeat. Tons of hugs for you! (((((((((HUGS)))))))))
Oh, Janette, hun! Bless your heart! Here's wishing the cake fairies to help you out tonight! You can do it!!
Janette! I'm sooo sorry about this! Hopefully you've finished by now and are sleeping peacefully with a beautifually made cake all ready to go. In any case (((HUGS))) for you. I know this cake has been a nightmare for you.
Janette.. I hope that you are doing okay today. I was thinking of you last night as I was baking too. ((hugs))
Wow, that sucks!!!! At least you didn't do it on the day of the event though, just to be positive.
You might need to have your dh pick you up some Red Bull while he's out. That works even better then coffee. 
Oh, and some grey goose to mix with it.

I wish I could say this story had a Happy Ending, but I can't.
We stayed up all night baking.
This time we thought instead of putting all the tiers together we would two and two. MI roads are so bad from all the salt they put on them. We are driving to the reception hall thinking so far, so good. We hit a pot-hole.
The bottom two tiers shifted. We got the cake into the hall and they were tilted. The wooden dowls leaned to the side not giving the support needed and all the tiers came crashing on the bottom tier.
We grabbed the thop three tiers before they fell over. From grabbing them they were a mess. The bottom tier was a complete mess.
All I could do is stand there and think what do I do now. We sent the bottom tier to the kitchen. The top three tiers I did as much repair as I could. With the extra flowers I had brought I covered some of the bad spots I couldn't repair.
I called the Bride, it's 1/2 before the reception begins. I told her I would give her a complete refund and I managed to save some of the cake.
What else could be said.
I spent the entire week making Gumpaste flowers. They were so pretty, I did them in white then colored them in Periwinkle.
For now on all cakes will be assembled at the hall.
I feel rotten, I know there is nothing that can be done, but I still feel rotten.
At least I had suppor from all my CC friends.
UGGGG!!!! You poor thing! I'm in MI and the roads are just horrid. You did your best and you are still doing right by the bride considering the situation. Go get some rest you and your DH could probably use some right now. Tomorrow is another day. ((BIG HUG))
