It sounds as though you have received great advice..( it is spelled a d v i C e... just a pet peeve ). I am grateful for the all of the postings as education for newbie's like myself. I learn so much every day from the board and all the great artists on here. I wish I were 1/100th as talented but I continue to practice practice practice. Thanks again for all the great information.

Hi sonimik

I live in Houston too and, sadly, share your story...recently I had two collapsed cakes in the same day due to heat. In my case I make the tremendous mistake of using natural fruit mousse fillings on fondant covered cakes
Was able to take out the damaged tier and fix a different smaller version of the cake. However, gave full refund in both cases. One of the customers, being a friend of mine, was reluctant to take money back but finally agreed she would have expected full refund on a similar situation with any other provider.

I'm sorry this happened to you.

I'm curious though, how you are able to bake out of your house and charge for a wedding cake. I thought it was illegal to charge money for cakes baked out of your home. Disregard my post if the laws have changed in TX, and I'm unaware.
