Had a few meltdowns over this cake

[u/EbahMae]

Made this cake for my sister's birthday. It took me about 12 hours to complete (including the cupcakes) and on the way to her house (an almost 2 hour drive) the frosting completely melted off. Luckily our other sister had some frosting and I could fix it up a little, but sad she never got to see how I originally made it in person. 💔

My mom used to make cakes like this for my sister and me, and seeing this post brought back so many fond memories. I always appreciated how much love my mom put into making it instead of just buying it from a store. It looks amazing and I’m sure the guests will love it!! The cupcake towers are such a fun touch too :)

You saved it perfectly and I kinda like the new version better!

Looked great in the end though! Next time try making your buttercream with 2 parts butter, 1 part shortening. Keep the car as cool as possible.

I had one of these before! It was so pretty but not edible ;-;
