There was a HUGE crack in my bottom tier!!!!! There was another crack in another place that was smaller. WHAT THE HECK???!!!! I was not going to panic. I was NOT going to PANIC! I thought of all the time that I had already put into it and I had never done zebra print before, so I didn't know how long that would take. It was a little stressful. I was just going to clean up the kitchen and start all over, so I washed cake pans, wiped off counters, set out my butter for icing and went to check all the ingredients for the cakes. I had no sour cream. Sour cream is a major part to my cakes. It makes them super moist and yummy. I was still in PJ's and I decided to just wait until the kids left to go get my supplies. I re-made all the cakes and icing and gave a lot of the cake wreck to neighbors. I was up until midnight waiting for the cakes to cool then realized that my icing had been in the fridge and was unspreadable. I just gave in and went to bed.
The next morning I was ready to go. I got all the cakes put together and went to cover my 6in cake board with contact paper and couldn't find any. No biggie. i had woken up earlier than I thought I would and so I just ran to Fred's in Greenbrier to pick some up then ran by the hardware store to get some wire and pruning shears. Both of which were for the cake. I got home and put it all together.
Here was the moment of truth. Could I make a zebra print on the cake with fondant stripes??
Not too shabby, I thought. The icing didn't smooth very well because the humidity was crazy today, but I couldn't really help it. Here are a few pics of the final product. Riley is the birthday girl and is a super sweetie. I love doing cakes for these people. Seriously, I love my customers!!
