Ok, so i was making a cake for a first communion party, and i totally over did myself. I read a serving guide wrong and made to big of a cake. The party was for 45 people. I made a two, 16.5 inch oval cakes stacked. Then i made a cross cake on top of that. I put 2 cans of betty crocker filling inbetween the ovals. I put fondant on top of all of this. I finished up and it looked AWESOME. At about 2am I went to bed. The next morning I woke up and the bottom oval buckled under the weight and the top layer slid over. There was a giant bulge in the fondant. It was unfixable. So i then restarted making the cake smaller. It looked a lot better and i was happy with it.
2 bad i didnt have a camera. Shucks
sounds like you will have lots of scraps for cake balls ![]()
It's been determined why the cake buckled, sometimes it's the best way to learn--that'll never happen again.
I wanted to chime in on your avatar--that is interesting! Did you make that?? A KA mixer with a Tupperware That's a bowl?? Most unique...
Seriously, yummy - bite size ( or larger if you like) cake - combined with frosting - rolled in balls and covered in a glaze or ganache (I'll cover anything with ganache ![]()
)
