Well, sometimes cakes and deliveries just don't go as planned. Sometimes as you're driving the cake to its destination, purple ombre fondant fades in the light to a disgusting gray and pale blue, completely ruining the entire look of the cake, right before your very eyes. Sometimes you panic. Sometimes you cry. Sometimes you get lost; sometimes you get lost twice. (And for those of you who know me, and are laughing right now, YES, it was in my own, old neighborhood! Continue laughing harder!) Sometimes your shoe breaks, and sometimes your phone dies. Today was THAT day! HOWEVER, sometimes you have a dear friend who is able to stay calm, and thinks for you; a friend who makes an emergency trip to Publix, gets 5lbs of frosting in 5 different shades of purple, decorator bags, and even talks them into giving her their decorating piping tips, brings everything back to you at the site of the baby shower that is supposed to begin in 45 minutes, and cheers you on while you peel every strip of fondant off that cake, scraping it clean, and continues to encourage you while you redecorate the two tier cake, and continues to tell you everything is going to be ok even though you're down to 5 minutes to finish the last few rows of ruffles on the cake. Yes, today was THAT day, and THAT was my friend, LIDDY. Today, she was my cake hero and rescuer! Thank you, Liddy!!! This is the picture of the cake re-do made possible by the quick, calm thinking of Liddy!
