i did a heart shape wedding dress and a tuxedo cake for a friend's co ed bridal shower. thank you to boween for her inspiration cakes. these are covered and decorated in fondant. my fondant was a nightmare for some reason. i think it turned out okay though. TFL. I am a critique subgroup member. appreciate your input
CSM: pretty cake. I like the flowers that edge the dress, gives a nice put together look. Again there are the fondant flaws, could be smoother. I think the pearls for the necklace could have been more consistent in size and shape, also the bottom shell border is a bit uneven and squiggley
CSM: another great design. I would color the 'skin' a couple of shades lighter. Are you rolling your fondant on something that has divets in it? It should be smoother than what i can see in the pic.
CSM: I like this one too! The flowers on the top edge of the dress is done really well! I also think that the shade of the skin is a bit to orangey. Other than that and the fondant issues again it's great!
CSM: Really nice job. I can see your fondant issues that you mention. You can pass it off as "cellulite" on this one... The added flowers on the top trim of her dress give it a nice finished look. I agree about the squiggly bottom border, but it doesn't detract from the look. Pearls are a little uneven, but honestly, I find it difficult to roll two balls the same size. I can't imagine a whole strand of them. I would have used a silver liner on your board..Not shiney, more matte ...
This is very pretty!! I do agree about making the skin color lighter, it kinda looks like a sunburn lol. What fondant are you using?? Maybe kneading it a bit more might give you a smoother finish. Very nicely done!!!
CSM: I like how the board is the same shape as the cake. The flowered neckline is a great touch. I think the pearls on the dress could be a little smaller, perhaps the same size as the necklace - everything else looks dainty! I see a few issues also with the bottom border.
CSM: Very nice! I like the sheen of the dress. Critique wise I think the skin color is a bit too peachy and the shell border look a little rushed in spots.
CSM: Looks like you're fondant worked out a little better on this one. Pretty. I really like the flowered/dragree edge on the dress. Would have been more fitting with a little dressier board.
CSM: Nice cake overall! Agree w/border a bit rushed, smaller pearls. I like how your pears are very rounded. Love the tiny little flower bodice. This girls been tanning in prep for her wedding day! I think it is a nice cake overall and you did a very nice job.
