The Billiards Cake!
Posted by Stacey R. on Sunday, January 23, 2011
Well the Billiards cake delivery was Thursday, and it was definitely interesting! Just about everything that could have gone wrong, did. When I was baking the third cake did not come out, so I had to create the angle out of the second cake. That meant that the rails weren't as stable as I had planned. Needless to say, they started to sag. I ended up having to literally slide a cake board THROUGH the top layer of cake! I can't believe it didn't all fall apart on me! The fondant was a bit of a pain, but I finally figured that part out too. Delivery was INSANE....that was the most unstable cake I have ever dealt with. In fact, one of the legs fell off when I was unloading! But we were able to fix it and no one knew any different. The modeling chocolate was a big hit though! Over all I am very proud of it. I'm putting the extra pictures on here! Oh, and I enabled comments, so let me know what you think! I'll also be trying to add a "Guestbook" page or something, so I hope to see your thoughts there too! Next up: the corset cake! Dun dun duuuunn....
