Good morning!
Hope everyone had a good weekend. Busy busy here. I ended up making 2 cakes for Brandon's party. The first one was a total fail! It went together nice, was straight when I started frosting it but by the time I was done, it looked like the Leaning Tower of Pisa! Only worse.
Marti said it was fine but I stewed over it and decided to start over. I used whipped cream on top instead of frosting the second time, just to make it lighter. And used dowels, which I skipped the first time because all the cakes baked nice and they set together nice and flat, I thought the frosting would be enough glue to hold them in place. But I was wrong!! Here is the finished 2nd cake...

(I resized it so hope it is ok)
Anyway, not a perfect effort. But much better than my first one. And it seemed to be a hit. Everyone liked it, and they loved eating it, there is none left. Haha. Had to use a piece of the dowel to hold the handle up, too, the fondant did not harden even though I had it in the fridge overnight.
I'm beat today! Not planning on doing a whole lot.
Have a great day! Big hugs and positive vibes to all!
