A Plastic Glove, Egg Shells And A Sink Disposal Don't Mix

Note to self...
Do NOT let one of your platic gloves slip un-noticed down the drain while making a giant dummy wedding cake, plus sheet cakes for 250 people.
Also...
Do NOT continue to put egg shells for said cakes and Duff's buttercream frosting for said cakes (count 74 egg shells) down the disposal. All the while not knowing about the sneaky glove.
OTHERWISE...
...the morning of the wedding (oh by the way, it doesn't help when you are also IN said wedding) while you are running the water in the sink trying to get the price stickers off the remaining centerpieces (which you also had to make for 16 tables) so you can then load up the car and drive an hour with cakes, centerpieces and dummy cake to set up at the reception, and still make it to the bride's house 45 min from the reception site on time to get dressed - your sink will BACK UP into your dishwasher and ALL OVER YOUR KITCHEN FLOOR! You get bonus points for this if your hairdresser is also about to ring the doorbell of your house to come in and do your hair... 
Seriously - I don't know how my husband has put up with all this craziness for 10 years!! 
The man is a saint! It took him over an hour this morning (day after wedding) to finally unclog the drain!!
Typically I throw the eggs into the cake boxes as I make them, occasionally I throw them in the disposal, which isn't a problem - however I think I overdid it a bit 
Luckily everything turned out okay, I managed to set up the cake, centerpieces and get to the house about 15 min before the bride - Whew!
LOL.
Well at least it's something that snuck by you and you didn't really DO something wrong (as compared to me making mint ganache and my brain taking a vacation and me using basil leaves instead!!).
By the way, granted your situation was much worse, but that reminds me of a couple of weeks ago when I literally stayed up all night to finish three cakes (2 birthday baseball themed cakes and one Thansgiving cake that I had to rebake because the first one failed - genoise) and the morning that we were to go to the party, three pipes began leaking in the basement and none of the drains would let the water go down. Turns out our septic needed an emergency pumping and the pipe to it needed a flushing and a seal fixing. What a day and week that turned out to be!
Yep, some hubbies are great at working out these little problems.
Poor girl - it would be funny if it weren't so darn messay and aggravating!!! These things usually happen to me 
I'm impressed that you still got everything done! I don't think I would have succeeded. You made me think of another tip that I learned the hard way: don't let a glass custard cup slip into the sink drain - it's a perfect fit and gets sucked down as securely as an octopus latches onto its prey! A knife or two, a broken cup, and cut fingers taught me that lesson quickly - I only had to repeat it a couple of times! 
Hope everything else went better! PAT
