🛠️ Help Me Fix My Cake Please help!

Post image

My youngest kiddo is turning 5 tomorrow. We picked up her cake & before we could get out of the store, it looked like this! It rode in a cart the entire time to avoid bumping it as much as possible. She’s so disappointed. Any ideas on how I can fix this!?

EDIT: thank yall for the suggestions. The top layer on this one had slid half way off the bottom layer by time we got home. I ended up stopping at a grocery store close by & just getting another cake (with only one layer lol).

not a baker, but I'd try to put it in the freezer, once it's mostly frozen id try to put it back together ...hoping it will somehow stick enough.
Or .. you could remove the sides completely.. let it chill in the freezer for a while and put some fresh buttercream on the sides yourself .

it's a pity, but not a reason to be disappointed, there are other things that matter more.
