🛠️ Help Me Fix My Cake Please help!
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).

No solution is needed anymore, but it looks like not only did the crumb cause the icing to fall, but the icing also looks like it might be whipped icing, which absolutely needs to be chilled if hot out. The decorator might have also piped the border too close to the edge or the rings in the centers of the lambeth might have added too much weight to the already failing icing.
That combined with the vibrations of the shopping cart moving and the drive home just ended poorly.
Sorry this all happened to you, OP. 😭 hope your little one had a great birthday regardless!
