First christmas break down

I just spent the past twenty mintues having a bit of a hissy fit on the floor of my kitchen. I spent all morning making 50+ chocolate crepes for a chocolate mint crepe cake and as I am almost done icing and stacking it I step back to look at it and make sure it is straight, the freaking thing is weeping! The bottom half has liquid just dripping out of the layers. I had no clue why this would be happening. So I call my aunt (who is a science/baking genius), apparently I over beat the buttercream  and seperated the fat solids in the heavy cream and now it is leaking. If I would have noticed it earlier I may have been able to save it, but now i either have to start all over including making new crepes, or just trash it and say everyone had better be happy with the cookies and cupcakes I made.

    It was for tonight for the adults in my family, and the cookies/cupcakes were for the kids.

    I have actually made this cake 3 times before, the only complicated/time consuming part is making the crepes. The part that is funny is I make this buttercream constantly, it is my go to recipe that I have memorized backwards and forwards. I just over beat it because I was trying to make it extra smooth for icing purposes.

    Boo, I hate baking snafus. Can't you just scrape off the old buttercream and make a new batch of it?

    I've never even made crepes! You might have enough time to remake it, do you have enough ingredients left? It sounds delicious!!!

    If it's just cosmetic, I say bring it, along with a good story. If it's more than just looks, cookies and cupcakes are already over and above wonderful desserts themselves.

    Good luck, everyone already knows that you're a fantastic baker.
