That's The Way The Cake Crumbles

I work at a bakery and part of my job is to help pair couples with the correct designer for their cake.

One bride wanted a cake large enough to feed 500 and she wanted it to float. This multi-tiered cake was going to be filled with fresh berries and custard, covered with buttercream and fondant, and decorated with edible flowers and more fresh fruit. And she wanted us to somehow defy the laws of gravity/physics and make it float.

Apparently, she had seen a floating cake in an anime show and decided nothing else was acceptable. When I told her we can't make floating cakes, she threw her coffee on the floor and cried that we were ruining her wedding. Her fiancé ushered her out the door, and I never saw either of them again.
