until delivery. I drove to their house (about 45 mins from mine) on a partial dirt road and lots and lots of stops. When I opened the trunk, I have devastated and demoralized. Her husband was standing there waiting for the cake to be revealed so he could carry it in the house. It was in ruins, all of the pieces had fallen all over the tub-- even some of the flowers, leaves and vines had fallen off of the cake. I wish I had thought to take a picture of the castle in ruins, but I was too busy freaking out. I had her husband carry it into the house and I grabbed my repair kit (which unfortunately didn't consist of much for this trip). After about an hour and plenty of encouragement and postive words said by both husband and wife, finally all the pieces were put back together and of course I bumbed into the table and knocked over the columns/turrets again!! We decided to move it to a more stable location, pieced it all back together again. Luckily the recipients were good humored and so sweet about the whole situation!! Here is a picture of the cake after delivery:
