I was trying to fill my cake, and when I went to put the top back on it broke. Can I glue it with crumb coat? icon_sad.gif

Yes you can, is it for yourself or are you selling it?

Yes I think you can glue it with icing. It should work fine, you do have to be a little careful while frosting it the final time so you don't rip it apart again.

bncncnmn,
I am sure you will get better suggestions from others on here as there are so many more knowledgable than me, but I believe that if you used icing where it broke you can glue it together that way then crumb coat and ice as usual, it should work and you shouldn't be able to tell that it happend. In my photos there is a pic of the cake I did for my son's birthday and one whole end broke off. I "glued" it backed together crumb-coated it and iced it and you couldn't even tell. HTH

It's for my husbands work, just a freebie practice cake. I think I just cut it to thin. I think I was bragging to much about how good it was going to be. It's the first time I used the cookies and cream.

I've done that before on wedding cakes and I also use drinking straws to kind of "dowel" the pieces so they will stay in place. I'm a little paranoid when it comes to my wedding cakes which is WHY I don't do them for "real people" LOLL only friends and family!

You can fix it with your buttercream icing or if you are using any kind of flavor like any fruit jam.
And if you are going to frost this cake then your cake will be just fine.

I think you if it is just broken part then you even don't need crumbs.

I hope you can make it.

I'm a newbie at cake decorating and learning so much. But what is crumb coating?

Just so I know for future reference! icon_smile.gif

Thanks,

If for whatever reason you can't fix it, you can always make cakeballs!!!

Crumb coat is just your frosting watered down a little. My teacher said it should help so you don't have crumbs in your frosting. She said it should look like mayonaise. You let your crumb coat set for about 10 minutes and then frost the cake.
