Before I went to bed I decided to check on Lightning. It was so hot yesterday the bottom cake buckled. I'm sure I had enough supports in it but the heat was just too much I guess.
Luckily Wal-Mart carries fondant and is open late. Dave ran to the store while I disassembled the poor Lightning cake. I put a new layer of fondant on the bottom tier and repiped the message. Disaster averted!
I actually like the second cake better. The first time I put Lightning in the center of the cake and wrote Happy Birthday Eli on the side of the bottom tier. I wasn't thrilled with how it turned out. So the second attempt I made room to write the message on the top of the cake.
Cake decorated always has its surprises. When I was working on the cake in the morning I thought "this was too easy." I guess I was a little too confident and needed to be humbled. Well, fixing a cake in the middle of the night in my pajamas seemed to do the trick.
I love the cake it turned out so cute. You are absoulutely amazing. I hope you enjoyed your day off. It is sad that we live in Nevada now and don't get pioneer day off. Great JOB!

ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job. All of Eli's little boy cousins loved the cake and everyone oooood and awwwwwd about it.
ReplyDeleteMy sister in laws said you did a great job.
Eli loved it as well. He was so proud of it. The boys demolished it with their hands. It was fun to watch. All the kids were fighting over what part of lighting mcqueen they were going to eat, from the tires to the eyes. It was so fun.
Thanks again.
The cake is so cute! I wish I had a quarter your talent.
