I think if she would have refrigerated the cake with the frosting, it would have been harder, and would not have come off that way; she should have made a dome of foil over the cake, and not let it touch the frosting.

I kept telling her not to press down on the foil or paper but she never got the message. I always just made an attempt to spread it back onto the cake but of course you could tell.
