TOTAL DISASTER. This is supposed to be iCarly. I accidently used a generic brand of wax paper & it wouldn't release the FBCT onto the cake. Ripped the shoulder & hair and distorted the face when I removed the paper. Nothing I did made it any better! I am ashamed to deliver it but there's no time to make another.

I don't think it looks nearly as bad as you think it does. I really don't see the imperfections.

I have problems like that with fbct sometimes. I just pipe a little extra icing on where the mistake is, smooth it with my fingers, and when it crusts I do the VIVA rub over top of it.

I think it looks fine too... Maybe add a bottom border to draw the attention away from the imperfections you see?

It's fine!! Just remember that cake muggles don't notice these things. My iCarly fanatic niece would love it!

I have a hard time dealing with imperfections too.

it's fine.... nothing to be ashamed about.... good job

Thank you all so much for your suggestions and encouragement! I just feel defeated by this cake.

I really think it is a nice cake! Your icing is smooth, your border is pretty, and your FBCT came out about 100x better than any I've ever done! I don't think it can hurt to add a border. The mom will be the one who determines how much sugar the little girl gets anyway. Good luck, and I think you are over thinking it. It's a nice cake, and cake muggles don't see the same things we do! (But again, I don't see any problems with your FBCT)

seriously?

do you know how many of us wish we were this talented? That cake looks great to me.

My 7 year old immediately said it was ICarly! You know kids will ALWAYS tell you the truth! Good Job! We are always our own worst critics.

I can honestly say that I don't see even one thing wrong with this cake. It looks lovely and you did a great job!
