Hi everyone, I have my first real (paid for) cake this week and I tried a 3d figure for it and I was wondering if I could get some opinions and or advice?????? I really value your opinions here, Thanks so much!

Michelle

do you have pics of it?

First off - congrats on your first 3D order! SO exciting, isn't it?? =) What do you need to make? What do you need advice for - how to make? or what to charge? I'm fairly new to it myself, for the 3D carvings... I've done many a 3D Thomas the Train or Winnie the Pooh with Wilton stand-up pans... so, do you have a stand-up pan to work with, or will you be carving? Either way, use a good dense recipe, or at least a box mix which includes pudding in the mix (most do now). DH is good. Don't be afraid to use skewers or other support system, just tell the customer where they are & explain why they're necessary - and even draw them a little guide. I'm excited for you! I'll keep watching this one to make sure you get answers! =)

So sorry, thought I put the pic in, didn't work! I guess thats what that little preview button is for!!!!

Here is the link to my witch, thanks for the help guys!

You're an Artist - don't doubt yourself, she's great! =) (I know what you mean though, new things cause me to second-guess & doubt as well!)

Thank you Ocakes!!!! Very kind words!

i think it looks good. I know what you mean by doubting yourself when it's your first. We usually have extremely higher expectations for ourselves. Don't worry you did a great job on you figure. I think it looks awesome

So my cake is done, thanks for all of your help guys! The pic is in my photos, I am working on figuring out how to put the pic in or at least the link! Thanks again to all of you!!!!!!!

you did a great job!
