Actually the nightmare came after Christmas when our mixer broke down. We were working on a cake and just as we had started the mixer broke and that was it...sheer panic and a mini meltdown. It took everything not to throw ourselves on the floor and cry and scream a little. All was well in the Kiss Me Cake kitchen though because we have our trusty back-up Ken! Ken is an ancient mixer that we keep in the back of the storage room, he is very noisy and slightly slow in his old age, but for emergencies he is brilliant and on this day he absolutely saved us and the cake. Yippee!The nightmare that we had before Christmas wasn't a bad one though, in fact it turned out to be one of our favourite cakes. Making a Tim Burton themed cake was an absolute dream and we had so much fun with this one, the only drawback was all of the black icing we had to use...black icing is the worst. It sticks to everything and colours your hands a yucky grey colour, we like to buy pre-coloured black icing, we often make our own and we absolutely dread it when we have to, it takes forever and colours all of your hands and fingers...it can take days to get rid of no matter how many times you wash your hands and scrub; but look how fabulous our cake turned out, totally worth the yucky grey hands.
