lollol
Hey, when an idea grabs you, it grabs you, there's just no way around it! I'm guilty of it, as I'm sure just about everybody else here is as well (at least at some point). When inspiration hits, there's just no denying it. I think you idea sounds cute, in fact it's similar to one that I'm planning for my FIL retirement party, hope to keep it under control, but already got the grapes, and a picinic blanket, and wine bottle (going to experiment with sugar) and etc. etc. etc.
But as far as the keeping it simple, I guess it just depends on what your doing/who your doing it for, as long as your enjoying yourself, who cares?! (I have a hard time keeping it simple) |

I'm the same way. Once the creative spark hits, look out.  |

I am going through the exact same thing w/ my daughter's b-day cake. It started as something fairly simple & yet I keep adding & adding or decide that maybe there are too many pink butterflies, perhaps I should make some white ones or maybe too many pink flowers, maybe I should make some different colors.....it goes on & on! So, I feel your 'pain'....but I do agree that when the creative spark bites you it won't let go until you submit! haha. Your cake does sound very cool, can't wait to see pictures  |

If you are enjoying your creativity, then more power too you!
Just don't forget the corkscrew!

Haha! I didn't catch that when I read it. I think (I hope) she meant cheese goes well with wine. That's what my mind turned it into anyway. And that would be true....cheese does go well with wine. |

...what about wine glasses....sorry, just had to throw that in.
I agree with all the others--when creativity strikes--go with it, especially for family. The experience and practice alone is worth it, never know when you will hit on a creation that someone might want to order and PAY FOR !!!
I always go overboard and DH is always walking by while I'm working and saying "stop, you've done enough for what they're paying for"....or "they didnt' request that so why are you adding all that stuff they didn't pay for?"...... guilty as charged! |

I think overboard in a design would be ...a single tier...with stripes, dots, flowers, bows, lace points, drop strings...to me, that is.
To complete a design...it's when you step back and look at it and the thought, "something is missing" doesn't pop into your head...again...to me, that is.
I can't wait to see the finished design! |
