I'm still disappointed. Because I left everything to the last minute, this cake is not my best. I'm just hoping the bride is happy with it. I know it'll taste good, but for appearances sake, you can see so many flaws. Truly not my best work. This is only my 2nd wedding cake, and the biggest cake I've ever made, so I knew it wouldn't be perfect, but I don't like that you can see the flaws in the pics.

I left a comment on your pic, and it somehow left off the last part of HARDEST. You did fine. You know what you need to do for the next one, and I am sure they will love it. We are always hardest on ourselves. And for what you went through for this cake, I'd say it looks great!

Truly not as bad as you think. I looked at the pic before I saw your post. When I clicked on the link I was expecting a disaster but saw it was a cake I already saw.

I think you did pretty good, I don't see a mess anywhere! Sure, you are going to see things you wish were better or different we all do on our own cakes.

You dun good!

I tided up the photo a bit in case that would make you feel better.



Considering what kinds of problems that cake gave you, it's a really good-looking cake and instead of focusing on the flaws you should be proud that you managed to pull through and get it done and have it look that good.

I think it looks great- smooth frosted cakes like that with no frills are always impossible to get perfect enough for the decorator! I'm sure everyone else loved it.

Texas-rose, that's what it should've looked like..thanks. That's okay, I'm chalking it up to experience. I've told the Bride and Groom if they weren't happy with it, they could have their money back.

Buggus - don't tell them up front you will give them their money back.....EVER! They honestly may be very happy with the cake - and will wonder why in the world you would say that! You WAIT and see if they have any complaints then decide what direction to go. No way should that be a free cake.

Plain frosted cakes with no decor are the hardest by far for me.
I've only done a few and I dread them, not to mention it's square which adds another degree of difficulty.
I think you did good and it's only your second wedding cake!
It's never as bad as we think it is, what we as decorators view as a complete disaster other non-cakers see as a masterpiece.
Its good, don't worry about.
