Hi everyone,

I just made this sorry looking cake. Somehow I just could not control the crumbs. At one point, the right side of the cake (in picture) started to come out with the cream and I tried to fix it, hence the leaning. What did I do wrong? How can I improve?

I followed the following recipe and measured everything with a kitchen scale in grams.

I thought the buttercream was too soft after I made it, so I put it in the fridge for about an hour (probably a bit more). The cream and the cake firmed up, but the crumbs keep coming!

Help!

PS: I put the flowers there to "hide" the crumbly gaps.
