Cake Repair, Part 1

The Anniversary Cake - attacked by "Pop" for a midnight snack once upon a time.... and since the anniversary is near - repair is necessary...

The Damages up close:

So here we go - Cake Repair: Part One 

Step one: prepare necessary parts . . .

One piece for "filling" and another for the new "bonus" base layer.

Step Two, cut out "new" center for cake, and attempt to plug-hole...

Level the Surface as much as possible...

Install parts...

  And then level the field again . . .

melted original icing to use as glue (. . . I mean, "filling")

Final trim . . .

and new layer gets to rest in the freezer....until tomorrow (when we take up Part #2)
