Did she/he really finish this cake, step away to get a good look at it and think that the picture and the cake looked even remotely similar?

I don't know the first thing about cake decorating. What I do know, is that for my wedding cake I checked three bakeries: two grocery stores and my caterer for the meal. The first didn't offer delivery and set up at all--it was a grocery. The second grocery would deliver for a fee that was too high for me. Lastly, my caterer offered to set up for free. Now this was a little town in the middle of nowhere, and it's possible the lack of options was due to the size of the town. The point is there are bakeries who do not provide delivery and set up for tiered cakes.<br /><br />Since this one was done by a family member, I assume it was done in a home kitchen (but not the one in which the picture was taken). I think the "icing melted in the car" theory shouldn't be thrown out unnecessarily. If I discovered that the wedding cake made for me by a member of the family I was marrying into was not presentable, I might go to some extra effort to try to save it instead of sending it back so as not to offend my new family.<br /><br />Just because someone is professional (receiving money for their work) does not mean the person is professional (owns a business and/or meets consumer expectations).<br /><br />-siltedreposeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-283014415881868682009-08-02T10:42:32.916-04:002009-08-02T10:42:32.916-04:00Yep, I would have had to rip someone's head of...Yep, I would have had to rip someone's head off.

Even the inspiration cake seems a bit sloppy for my taste, but what bride would EVER pick up or take delivery of that cake!?!?!?! I also question what sort of research this bride did when choosing her cake decorator. The person who made that cake could not have provided any sort of genuine portfolio or references for the bride prior to makeing that monstrosity. I would say that this is largely the brides fault for not doing enough research. I agree with many of the folks on here who have cried wolf on this cake and asserted that this was made by some relative or family friend who claimed to have some sort of cake decorating skill and then, in the end, turned up with this... eek!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-37661228179260970152009-03-23T03:31:00.000-04:002009-03-23T03:31:00.000-04:00When I get married I get a simple cake like...um.....When I get married I get a simple cake like...um...ooh I know.

How do I know you may ask? Well, I was present when this cake was brought to Vicky's in-laws home. Further more, I was the one who took the photograph of the aforementioned "wreck". The top tier was actually round as it is pictured and not some botched attempt at a tier replacement. When the cake arrived the top tier had begun to slide off to one side of the cake, due to the less than level second tier. Thus the top tier was removed in an attempt to "realign" the three tiers and hopefully save the cake..structurally speaking of course. Upon doing so we discovered the spring-form pan contained within the tier, which was completely encased in icing. As such, the top tier was gently positioned closer to the center of the second tier. Imagine if you will the top tier to the right most extreme of the second tier, and you will have a fair representation of the cake upon arrival. At this point we had given up all hope of "saving" this monstrosity. The butter cream icing in the bag you see was our attempt to try and match the wondrous shade of green we were presented with. However, with a lack of professional decorating supplies at hand, we were forced to "make due" with what we had, so to speak. And as for the mini-marshmallows, they were indeed intended for leveling the bottom tiers, but thank god it never came to that. On another note, the mini-marshmallows actually tasted quite good. Did I mention this was the cakes "good" side?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-87912060458360740592009-02-14T01:56:00.000-05:002009-02-14T01:56:00.000-05:00No way.

I know because I made a marshmallow fondant icing once for a cake... and yes... they look all droopy and lumpy like that because the marshmallow ends up freaking HEAVY!

I am a pastry chef and custom cake designer, and I assemble all of my cakes (even multi-tiered wedding cakes) prior to delivery (as do many other designers I know). They are delivered fully assembled, some customers do choose to pick up as they do not want to pay the delivery charge.
