This was a HUGE commitment for someone who works full time. I was happy to agree to do it for a very sweet friend who was helping to plan a surprise birthday for their church pastor. Crazily, the hospital ended up with planned downtimes, TWO nights the weekend these cakes needed to be finished, and of course I had to be there. I busted it out though and was really happy with the results. My one regret was not transporting the cakes myself. These cakes are so tricky and balance is KEY. There was some sliding, and the middle tier crushed part of the back of the bottom tier. :( I went over to try to save it and as long as it didn't fall after I left, it looked pretty ok, just a little more lopsided than was ever intended. Hopefully Pastor Mascroft still enjoyed his birthday celebration!!
The top 2 tiers of the big cake were chocolate and the bottom was yellow. The sheet cakes were 1 yellow and 1 chocolate. Raspberry filling in all of them, and a combination of buttercream, chocolate buttercream and marshmallow fondant accents.
