Topsy TURVY cake





Next I went to Amanda's house to work on my cake. which has turned out beatifully! Here's a picture. The cake was an adventure. We made the perfect shade of blue for the top layer. then we worked on finding the shade of purple to match... it worked well. As I as admiring my work, I noticed that the top layer of the blue was sliding causing the cake to tilt and about to fall over. So we stuck a wooden dowell in it, but then didn't know what to do, so we put the blue layer on top of the purple and pushed the dowel through. Then we worked on the green. Amanda only had "leaf green" food coloring, so we tried it, but it was way too pastel for the bold colors we already had. So we ran...ok we drove, to Alberstons and found Green food coloring. Finally at about 10:50, we had the cake all frosted and put together-with the wood cut down, and were planning the decorations we will put on tomorrow.

At about midnight, Once I got home and I was in bed, I received a text message from Amanda asking if I was still up. I said yes, and she told me that the cake was falling over and she didn't know what to do... So she called me and she told me that she kept on trying to save it but she didn't know how. She ended up sticking 11 wooden dowels in the cake to get it to stop moving... Later she sent me pictures... It's frightening... I have spent about 10 hours on this cake... I guess I shouldn't have forgotten to put the supports in the cake before we put it together. Amanda "the cake master" didn't think of it either... we just had to make sure that top layer was going to stick it together...
It's so sad... now I don't know what I'm going to do for my party. I'm really sad, I don't think it's salvagable...
Well, I'm going to bed, extremely tired. I have a busy day tomorrow.
Have a good night. Love ya'll!

I woke up this morning and called Amanda to check how the cake was and she said, it's gone. i went over there, and it was all over the table. She said that when she woke up, the top two layers had fallen off. she tried to pick them up and save it, but it had just fallen apart. So when I walked into the kitchen this is what I saw. Her dad just said, "The Party Never Ends!". she has two extra cake mixes, and we have extra frosting and filling so we are going to try and do a bottom layer and then the rest with styrofoam. hopefully it'll all work.
