Absolutely gutted when I came down Monday morning and saw that the cake (on the left) had collapsed. You can kind of see the bulge around the bottom of the stripes. The customer was already on the way to pick it up, along with her cupcakes, so cue a huge panic my end. I quickly messaged to explain what had happened and that I would need to redo it. She was so understanding about it all and agreed to collect later in the day-thankfully the cake was actually for Tuesday! I had to remake ganache and get that cooled and set enough to coat the cake. The whole cake had to be dismantled and taken apart. I ganached it to within an inch of its life haha, then covered in Sugarpaste instead of buttercream. I actually preferred new cake, although that magenta colour on the left was nicer IRL than it looks in the photo, and the buttercream stripes did look neat before disaster struck.
