I am attempting a two tier topsy turvy cake for the first time for Wednesday. If last night is the beginning of wreck after wreck, I'm in big trouble!
First, my batch or MFF is so soft and I swear I've added like 5 lbs of PS! So I picked up Wilton fondant the other day and it really does taste really bad!! I thought they will never eat that!!
This morning my marble WASC cakes are baking nicely, then my 14 year old DS comes walking in..... he took off from the swimming pool!! So as I'm cussing and hollaring at him, I take my 9 inch cakes out of the oven.......... and proceed to stack them one on top of the other.....
As I scream in horror realizing what I've done, half the cake is stuck on the bottom of the pans.
Now lets see if I can salvage anything otherwise thank goodness I started early enough to rebake.
Thank you for listening to my rant!!

Yikes! Hope your day improves after this!

Hopefully it can only get better. & it could be way worse........(not going to mention anything worse incase of the dreaded jinx)

Thank you for that, and yes it could be....... worse (whispering). At least this cake if for my DS step sister. I told them yesterday that it will definately taste good, but may not be so pretty!!

I think we've all had those kind of days. Just take a few breaths and keep trying. Just remember, there's always someone that has it worse than you.

If all else fails... Make a kitty litter cake!!!! It's always a hit! I'm having troubles getting started. I have to travel 2 hours on the plane with a wedding cake on Friday. UGH!!!

Your cakes are lovely. Sorry you're having so much trouble, but I'm sure you will come up with something wonderful. I hate days like that.

I had a day like that last week... I felt the same way that you do. Frustrated, angry. It's just one day though. Sending good vibes your way! =o)

i'm so confused.. this is dumb question.. what does DS stand for??

p.s.... i hope your day gets better.... you must be ready to throw something!

Remember to take a deep breath! It will get better. We've all heard the saying about making lemonade when life hands you lemons, but for us cakers, and it looks like you will have plenty of marble cake crumbs: When caking hands you cake crumbs - make cake balls!

Last week I colored a whole batch of icing the wrong color because some dolt (me) put the wrong lid on the jar of food color. What was supposed to be pastel yellow was orange. Yeah, like I'm gonna be able to fix THAT.

The next day I made a batch of muffins for the neighbor and put 1/3 cup of Colon Cleanser in the mix instead of brewer's yeast because some dolt (me) didn't label the jar before putting it in the cupboard. First bite I'm like, oh crap (pardon the pun)

This week will be better for both of us, it just has to be

I'm so glad to hear this happens to other people. I had a similar problem last week, I had 1 cake stick to the pan so I baked another layer. Literally as I was telling my mom the story my son knocked the 2 good cakes off the counter. Best of luck to you and your cake! If it taste good I've found most people forget about all the flaws.

If you mix some of your MFF with the Wilton, you'll get a tasty product that should work very nicely.

Oh Narfletta.. DS stands for dear son or sister (I guess). I know I had a heck of a time with abbreviations at first. I've never been an online chatter or forum contributor. I think there is a sticky in the general section with common abbreviations listed.
