Bless your heart! But 35 years IS quite an acoomplishment! Here's to your next 35 years, accident-free. ;)
My first cake mishap was due to a rude driver who decided to take the same exit as I did, at the last possible moment, so I had to touch my brakes. That wouldn't have been bad, in and of itself, but the offramp was a steep downhill. The whole cake leaned into the back seat of my minivan. Thank the Lord that the family had wanted the cake delivered the day before the home wedding, so I had the night to re-make the cake and deliver it in plenty of time for the wedding. Whew! Otherwise, there would have been no cake!
Concentrate on the cakes who made it in once piece and keep on icin'!
Big hugs!

: My first cake problem in 35 years happened yesterday. I worked so hard on this one. It had hand made Gerber Daisies, Calli Lillies, & roses, all in three colors of deep coral, lite coral & tan. 4 tier cake. 16", 12", 8" & 6". Got to the hall & opened the door & the top 3 tiers had slid off, not all the way, but alot. They carried it in & again, another first for me, did not bring a patch kit with me. Ran home to get it all. Came back & used pancake turners to bring back the tiers. I was able to patch it all up as best I could. It had cornelli lace all over the tiers too. The bottom tier was sinking & had large cracks all over it. I just felt so bad for the bride & groom. It was at my church too, so I knew alot of the people there. One woman came up to me to say I did a good job of patching it up. And said we will pray for you. Turns out it's the grooms mom. She wasn't even upset. But it just killed me. I told her to tell the bride that I am refunding the money. That's a killer too. It was almost $600.00. But I can't in good faith, keep it. The photographer was there early so he got many pictures of it before I had to patch it up. So the pix look good.
