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!

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

I like the second one the best.

I love the second one. I think it looks great!

wheewwww........thanks so much........that's how I delivered it just now but I looked at the photo and thought " it looks so dark and dreary" ok...glad you guys agree with me then...........I guess scraping off the leaves was the best move then lol

My vote's for the second one! It looks wonderful

I have to go with the consensus on this one. I like the second one, it looks more finsihed. I'm sure they loved it!

Oh the second one by far !!! Gorgeous !!!

#2!

#2 for sure!!!!!

Love the second one better.....it's adorable.

I think the color difference between the tree and the squirrel is a great contrast. Also that your leaves aren't flat helps to create the 3-D effect . Great cake

Both look great but #2, has more colorful detailing and it is more eye catching. I like the trees better then the vines. The trees with the leaves make your cake look like a peice of art. I think you made a wonderful choice, by going with cake #2.

Great Job!!!
God Bless,

I LOVE the 2nd one..It's gorgeous!

2nd one!

The first one looks kind of plain and has a bit of a grocery store feel to it, but the second one is very unique. I love the 2nd one! I'm jealous of your skills. That squirrel looks almost real (so does the corn for that matter). Great job.

lol..thanks....good thing I decided not to leave it like it was.....: )

I really like the second one. It gives more visual interest!!!!!!!

you made a great choice. the second one was more interesting. well done!

you definitely made the right choice. # 1 is cute, but # 2 is AWESOME!!! I bet she LOVED it!
