For those of you that are in the business of delivering and setting up your cakes, what essentials do you bring with you in case of a cake emergency? Extra flowers, extra fondant, extra buttercream, a prayer book?  Interested to hear what other take with them.  Thanks!

I bring extra flowers and buttercream along with tools to use them. Spatula, straws, and skewers are about it. I should have a better emergency kit, but I've not needed anything else yet.

I hadn't thought about extra straws and skewers.  That's a good idea.

The tips and tools used in creating that cake along with everything already mentioned.  Maybe cake board in size(s) used  Toothpicks; clean towel (something to clean up with).  A helper!

Lots of good ideas.  Hadn't thought about paper towels or a clean dish towel.
