POV: a baker’s worst nightmare 😭
Everything was looking so cute… until the fondant decided it had other plans. 😳
Lesson learnt the stressful way: fondant + whipped cream icing can be a risky combination! Whipped cream contains a lot of moisture, and fondant loves to absorb it — meaning those beautiful decorations can soften, lose their structure and start melting before your eyes. 😭
Cue the panic, the emergency cake surgery and a LOT of problem solving… 😂
Thankfully, we managed to save her in the end! 🙌🏽
Sometimes baking is 20% creating beautiful cakes and 80% figuring out how to rescue them when science decides to humble you. 😂
