    Default So now WHAT!

    So, what do you do with uneven layer cakes? I want to do the boarded square, with Venezia layer cake, just like the tutorial Jenny did, but a least 25 of them are off, some by a half an inch in the middle. Should I return it? Or can it be fixed in anyway? What would you do?

    I think half an inch is a lot...I personally would return it...and say it's damaged goods...

    I got one layer cake a while back and now just using. In the pile was one layer cake the size was 10 inches by about 6.5 inches. Bad quality control

    This makes me really nervous.... I've got a couple of layer cakes in my stash that I hadn't planned on using for a little bit. If I go to use them and they're off like that... it may be too late for me to complain and get either my money back or a replacement.

    May have to go check them tonight just to be safe....

    This is exactly why I've quit buying pre-cuts. If a person has to trim every square, one might as well cut their own & know the dimensions are right. JCY

    I would write an email to the fabric company - Moda or whoever manufactured that layer cake and include the picture. Most of them are good about replacing poor quality cuts. And it really is a problem on their part, not who ever sold the layer cake, as all they do is order it from the company. We need to start hitting the manufacturers with the complaints.

    I would return the layer cake and email the fabric company. The last charm pack and layer cake I worked with were both off but not so much.
