I have this horrible frustration, I tried to carve my first cake and they fell apart (all nine of them!) it was a nightmare, but it has become my “Moby Dick”. It seems I can bake the cakes ok, freeze them ok, “carve” them ok, but when it comes to icing… It falls apart in a horrible way! Even as I am writing this, all the frustration and hatred invades my whole body!!! this cake almost kills my passion for dessert cooking.
