So today I tried to replicate a cake I did before: http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=527573
But ended up with this!!!!

I am so upset. It is still a cute cake, but not at all what she ordered. I sent her an email with the photo so she can cancel if she needs to, but I just don't understand why I wasn't able to replicate it!
I made it with a softer pink earlier, but it immediately faded into white, so I tried to make it darker, and it is florescent! And then the purple turned blue!
It is a baaaad cake day. I so hope she doesn't want her money back!

Oh, it is still cute! I would just mention that the pink coloring got too dark and that's all. (Of course she should still pay!) It's very pretty.

Thanks. I softened it up a little bit, and I really like it now that I have calmed down. I hope she will too.

It's a beautiful cake, I hope everything works out for you.

also I think the spacing with your lines is different with the second cake...because they are closer together, it might be throwing you off. It still looks great so relax!!

Thanks. I was kind of "flubbing" with the stripes, because I was trying to cover up some flaws, but also, when the fondant turned white, I was trying to add color. I emailed her with photos, but still haven't heard back. I'm afraid when she shows up tomorrow morning that she is going to be really surprised!

it's beautiful!!! And if she wants her money back then she's C R A Z Y !!!

Breathe girlie its AWESOME!!!!

Your cake is beautiful and you did a wondeful job!!! Don't think anything else! She should love it as well...it is beautiful!

I got an email from her last night and...she LOVED it!!! I was so relieved. When she came to get it this morning, she was just so happy with it. Yea!!!

You know I actually like the second cake better? Just something about the colors or design that stand out for me.

Shhh...don't tell anyone, but I do too.

Oh my!!!! It's beautiful!!! I understand why she loved it.

Great job!!!

I like the second one better too! Well done.

Another vote for the second cake! I couldn't see why you were upset, I loved it!

You know a decorated cake is a work of art, not a carbon copy. Each is individual. I would explain this to all clients, your artistic impression is different each time you create. I love both your cakes, they are both beautiful.

I agree. Although you're replicating one of your own cakes, it's nice to make minor alterations to make it unique to each new customer. Both cakes turned out great--you did a nice job.
