Hey gang! This is a full sheet cake for my DD school's 5th grade graduation. I would love some feedback on what else it needs. It seems so blah to me...TIA! |

hmmm I don't know, but I think if the little cowboy was bigger it would fill up the extra space and maybe look more balanced. |

I think it's cute...I agree that a bigger cowboy would have looked more balanced, but it's probably too late for that, huh?! Can't really think of anything unless you add a little more color to the border...adding anything to the top would be too much, I think...
On another note....I've never heard of 5th grade graduation...that's a new one to me. Kindergarten and 8th grade I've heard of, never 5th. Interesting. Jodie |

Looks great, love the writing. Maybe add some more to the border....possibly some red dots in the between the shells with like a number 3 tip? Or just add some more color to the border. |

Looks great! I'd just take the bottom border color and add a little color to the top border with it. Maybe use the leaf tip and stick a little color between the shells? That will add a little more color/depts to the top.

Thanks everyone! I too agree about the cowboy. It was my first attempt at a Frozen Buttercream transfer, and I didn't really get the perspective right on the size, but was still pleased at how easy it was to do! I will try adding some color to the top border. I would have used the brown on the top as well, but I ran out of brown food color and went with the white instead. Helps to be prepared, doesn't it! |

How about a rope coming out of the cowboy's hand and lassoing (sp?) the words? It would kind of join the three different areas together. Looks very cute though and I know the kids will just love it. |

What about some fun confetti in the colors that you are already using? It would give the white area some color without overpowering your image.
It's a very cute cake and I don't know too many kids that don't like confetti.
Good luck!  |

You can always add color into the white areas with some edible glitter or a really thin chocolate r royal icing scroll. Thin and long and continuous like you would do around the edge or border of something. Here's a website: www.sweetbrantleys.com There's a cake in the picture that is a sheet cake and says Happy B-day Bubba...there is something like it on that cake. |

Looks like you did great on your first transfer...Warning...those things are addictive! Once I did my first one I was hooked and trying to make up excuses to make cakes!!
As for being prepared...I can't tell you how many times I get started on a baking project and have to send my husband to the store for something...just about every time. I always think I have this or that, only to find out I don't...you would think I'd start checking ahead of time...Jodie |

I like the lasso idea. What about adding a rolled up diploma next to the cap? |
