The request was for a cake with a squirrel eating corn on the cob...for a lady that loves to watch squirrels eat corn in her backyard! I put the vines around with the leaves and thought it looked weird so I scraped it all off and painted on the tree trunks and limbs...but now I'm wondering if it's too dark. Which one do you like better????

I think the second one with the tree trunks looks better. The squirrel really stands out on it! It looks very very good!

They are both cute but the second just kind of "pops" - I really like it! Love the trees and leaves!

I like the tree limbs... makes a more complete scene. The color isn't off putting to me because it just adds depth to the design, and showcases your skills.
Great piping! Thumbs Up!

The second one! The squirrel really pops...I don't think it's too dark.
