MasterChef winner Nadia Lim spent an hour-and-a-half fixing her three-tier cake after it melted on her wedding day.
Lim, the winner of the second season of MasterChef New Zealand, was marrying Carlos Bagrie on the Karikari Peninsula but found the cake had melted after the four-hour drive from Auckland.
The unflappable contestant, who beat Jax Hamilton in the macaron tower-building finale of MasterChef, told Woman's Day she found the incident "funny".
"We drove up to the winery and a few kitchen staff were standing around the cake, looking inconsolable," Lim said.
"They thought it was their fault, but of course it wasn't ... I asked them for a palette knife, and the kitchen staff ran to the dairy, got all these white chocolate buttons.
