I had the same slip-slidding kind of problem when I made my hub's birthday cake this year. I'm bookmarking this for next year, he loves maple and really doesn't mind a lopsided cake. :)LyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504659088765433358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151230224028574772.post-33989364993934150702009-11-09T23:52:24.058-08:002009-11-09T23:52:24.058-08:00What a wonderful cake, leaning or nut...uh not.

I turned a warm apple/blackberry pie out once... not a good idea, like the waters in Venice... everywhere.<br />You can still climb the tower in small groups with a guide, just dig deep in your pockets. It won't fall anymore after the restoration (they even managed to get it more upright than it was... right kind of frosting I guess... uh concrete I mean)Lienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355494414772149750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151230224028574772.post-27144041205216689802009-11-07T16:48:26.960-08:002009-11-07T16:48:26.960-08:00A drippy leaning cake is still cake!

You are so lucky to have been to Italy when you were young! I made a chocolate cake for a party a year ago and the ganache icing did the same thing...I kept scooping it from the bottom pool and troweling it on the sides as it cooled...by dessert time it was OK...if you didn't look too closely.Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733838869805925920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151230224028574772.post-75391789726001964512009-11-05T15:00:29.403-08:002009-11-05T15:00:29.403-08:00I love that it has character.I love that it has character.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18324379926724874629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151230224028574772.post-62664597661066039902009-11-05T10:33:25.433-08:002009-11-05T10:33:25.433-08:00I think it looks even better!
