PSA: OUTSIDE IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE! π€¦π½π€£π«
Anyone who has ever been my client will tell you that one thing I have no problem doing is telling you no. If the client wants to do something that I know for a fact will prove disastrous to their beautiful event, I will absolutely tell them no. I will offer other options and alternatives but I will not allow you to make disastrous decisions. This is a perfect example of a disastrous decision. DON'T BE THIS PERSON! Hire a planner/coordinator who is okay with telling you no when they need to.
This client should have been redirected when they wanted their cake to be set up outside. If there was no inside venue alternative available, this cake should have been delivered just prior to the cake cutting just for the sake of pictures or a fake cake should have been used. Now, as the planner, I would have gathered this melting/falling icing up in a large bowl, whipped it up the best that I could, and attempted to lightly spread it on the sides of the cake to create a naked cake look. That's obviously not what they would have wanted but that's the only option we have left here, and that's IF the layers don't start to slide away. π€£
Moral of the story? Just don't do this! It's too hot outside for your event so it's DEFINITELY too hot outside for your cake to survive the event. Outside is now officially CLOSED! LOL!!!
