Ok...This is my first pillow cake I thought it came out pretty good...until it got to the catering hall. The middle pillow I decided I would put half blue fondant and airbrush and white fondant for the bottom. All the other pillows were covered in fondant. Well...when I got to the hall the white flipped off the cake and wouldnt stay on and I winded up having some extra butter cream and that kept it but I was so disappointed. Thank god it was for my neice and they were so understanding. Does anyone know what I could have done so that would have not happened. Should I have overlaped it a bit with the blue fondant? Was the cake too soft??? I also notice the bottom layer was looking a little smooched. Did I need more dowels? Please help me so that this doesnt happen again.
Looks like there wasn't enough support for the 2 inches of white fondant folded up the side.
Alternatives that would have worked: Cover the whole cake in white fondant, then add a thin layer of blue over the top... OR ...Cover the whole cake in blue fondant and glue a thin strip of white fondant on top of the blue.
Otherwise, it's a beautiful cake! Great save, too.
I think it looks wonderful and would've loved to have had a cake like this on my Sweet 16!
It must've been a GREAT save because I can't really see what you're talking about!
In the pics it looks gorgeous. I love it. So delicate and pretty. Perfect for a sweet 16.
Macsmom,
wouldnt folding the fondant under the pillow look more billowy (new word)?
And dont we all just love those big fluffy billowy pillows? So I think that is a wonderful idea.
Thanks for sharing it.
