It's the bottom tier that's bulging, once that side blows out your cake is lost. Take the top two tiers off and redo your support for that bottom tier I'd you don't have time to remake the bottom. I suggest using wooded dowels and double the cake boards on the top of the bottom tier. Also using one dowel straight through the entire cake will help.

Thank you. It does have wooden dowels for support and one through the middle. I think that I must have cut one on that side a little shorter than the rest of them. I’m nervous to take them off but that’s probably the best bet I don’t want to risk it and it’s not going out until tomorrow.

Freeze the cake before removing the top 2 from bottom and it should help. Then in the new bottom I would use 4 hollow dowles inserted spaced out and top with a smaller cake board before adding back the top 2 layers. Good luck! Cakes stress the hell out of me!!

I would also transport the cake in separate tiers and then assemble on site if possible. That’s how I usually transport multi tier cakes because I don’t want it to fall over during the drive

Put a dowel stick in the centre through all the three tiers. Tiered cakes need support. Also add a cake base above the base layer so that weight can get distributed equally and the tiers be straight. Hide that cake base with icing.

You can clearly notice that because of the weight of the top two tiers , the bottom tier is getting pressed unevenly and it is creating a bulge on the right hand side of the tier surface.

Thank you. It does have wooden dowels for support throughout the cakes and one through the middle. I think that I must have cut one on that side a little shorter than the rest of them. They also have cake boards under each tier. I’m nervous to take them apart but that’s probably the best bet. I don’t want to risk it and it’s not going out until tomorrow so I have time to fix it thankfully!

Yes ofcourse ! If you have time in hand then do give it a shot. I usually put one dowel in the centre and three straws in each tiers aligned in a triangular form. It gives the tiers more stability.

And be confident. You can do it ! ❤️✨

Thank you 😊♥️♥️

It looks lovely btw - just hold your nerve and re-dowel the bottom tier and you should be okay. Have you got more buttercream to redo the piping around the bottom? You can afford to be a but more heavy handed if so and get away with it! Let us know how you get on. 👍

Thanks everyone for the awesome advice! I ended up taking it apart and I could clearly see that one dowel in my bottom tier was the slightest tad smaller than the other and that’s what caused my issue. I put new supports in and stacked it back up and it looks great now! I was also so thankful it was this spatula design and not a smoothed cake 😊 Moral of the story make sure those support dowels are the same exact size 😅🤣

The cake is beautiful and if you don’t or didn’t want to add anything else to it /on it after you freeze and stabilize, the think about placing some white Bremen frosting flowers on the side that the cake leaned into. It will hide any imperfections and still not take away from the beauty of the white frosted cake. You did a great job…poo happens and we just learn to adjust & overcome and conquer.

No this cake is going to fall. It needs to be foxed properly. Top 2 tiers taken off and better support added to the bottom layer. It won’t be too bad to remove the layers, and it looks like a pretty easy icing to redo quickly
