Meg's First Holy Communion Cake

This was my first cake disaster, deftly resurrected the morning of the event! Its an 8" square 'three-quarter' chocolate mud cake, covered in chocolate ganache and then a thinner layer of white fondant, a la Planet Cake's technique. The topper is made from GP frangipanis and ribbon etc. Its summer in Australia at present. I made the mistake of leaving the finished cake under an oven light (oven OFF) over night to help finish drying the frangis on the cake. In the morning (day of party) the ganache had melted from under the fondant, creating an undulating cake! Arrgh! We baorded up the sides and chilled the cake with ice bricks as we coaxed it back into shape. Had to replace the stained ribbons at the bottom, but at least the cake was saved!
