I made this cake for a gentleman's 80th Birthday. Knitting is one of his hobbies so it was appropriate for his birthday cake to showcase that. This is the first cake that I had a catastrophe with. I needed to move one of the balls from one board to another. Not thinking, I just picked up the cake by the sides with my hands and had nothing supporting the bottom. Needless to say the whole bottom of the cake fell right out. This was one hour before customer was to pick up. I had to call her and tell her I would be happy to deliver the cake for her at a later time so that I could fix my huge mistake! I managed to pull it off and re create an entire cake, baking and all, covered in a million strings of fondant in less than 4 hours! Woo Hoo.
