In Reply to: Jeff update on cake you helped me with posted by Angela on February 01, 2009 at 15:54:24:

Thanks for the update. I have been without power for 12 days since the ice storm hit KY. I thought that cake would be a first and last of its kind....but at least it made it through! Post a picture when you can.

: The cake was a nightmare. As I said before it was three cakes displayed over a fountain. The cakes were Tres Leches cake so they were heavier than normal cakes. The pillars that the lady gave me from the cake store didn't fit properly so I had to squeeze icing in between each one because they were leaning same thing with the others tiers. My mother thought the cake was going to fall down. The lady had me make a doll cake and wanted it on top. I had to explain that there would be to much weight because of the milks soaking the cakes so we displayed her in front to the cakes. People probably though we didn't know what we were doing because we kept moving cakes around. Musical cakes.LOL. So we decided that we could display her on one of the side cakes but that didn't work because of the stairs. Then she gives me a box of fresh and artificial flowers that she wants me to arrange around the cake and I was thinking this is not my job. Was so glad when it was done. They wanted us to stay and eat but we felt a little uncomfortable only the lady spoke English. My mother was so stressed she wanted to go home. Thank you for all your help. Why are Wilton's pillar so crappy? I have some CK pillars and use them with Wilton's plates and they fit nice and tight. The bad thing is I didn't have time to bring my camera so my mother made the lady take a picture before we left.
