I went to bed at 1:00 AM last night. The cake was looking pretty pitiful, so I just refrigerated it, and hoped for the best this morning.
When I woke up this morning, this is what the cake looked like!
It slid to one side overnight!
Pitiful!
I have been drinking a lot of coffee today!
I used a knife and two spatulas and took off the top layer of the original leaning cake. I had an extra layer that I did not use last night, so I placed it under the layer I sliced off.
I added the smaller layer for the Lego man's head bump.
I wedged in a couple of legos, because the cake was still leaning.
I iced it the best I could....
Just Pitiful!
The Finished Product!
I looks NOTHING like the cake I copied from Pinterest!

You probably needed to level each layer of cake....you slice off the top curvy part....Something I learned from Keepers!! It looks fine, though, and I am sure Sam will/is excited about it and it will taste great!
Hugs...and a little laugh! I make cakes for everyone in our house, because we love the way they taste. I have had a few very stressful days in the meantime, but enjoy the easier ones. ;) OCD can make this sort of thing difficult!
It looks fine but I know it must have been a very stressful process.
Oh I feel your pain! I made a Bob the Builder cake for my daughter (yes, my daughter!) when she was 3 and the entire road and all the characters slid off before the party. It was really sad. And also, I have had my share of Pinterest fails. Should we start a website? :) haha!!! Also, here's a little something to make you feel better. I died laughing when I saw this.

I have had middle-of-the-night cake mishaps myself! I must say you were creative with your Lego rescue supports. You are a terrific mom for taking the time to make Sam's birthday cake for him. The Lego man's big smile made me smile. I hope it made the birthday boy smile too. Happy birthday Sam from the McGills!
That is too funny! I love your determination! Did it at least taste good? ha ha

My mother in law calls that making a memory. Or at least that is what she told me when I burnt the choc. pies Christmas dinner. :)
Hahahaha! Thank you for sharing your attempts...this looks much better than my attempts at similar cakes. Those ideas on pinterest are great except... :)
Keep up the God work.
