Pro tip for gluing cakes: You want to rip off the bottom paper on your cake before gluing. This will reveal a hard base or (in the case of a 200G cake) exposed clay-plugged tubes. rather than gluing paper which can rip off, you are gluing the base or clay tubes directly to the board. I learned to do this the hard way. Second, I like to space out my cakes more because they've caught fire in my shows on more than one occasion.
Definitely. It’s a numbers game and eventually something is going to fail. Next year I’m moving the spectators back another 100’ which will be better viewing anyways.
What kind of liquid nails were you using? I used liquid nails from Wal-Mart and had a similar issue last year. When the show was over they were way too easy to kick off for clean up .
Man I don’t remember. Maybe Gorilla brand? One shot blew up while it was secured which blew it off the board. I had the board angled so that made it easier to move
