Casey's Candy Carousel

Casey's Candy Carousel on Cake Central

Dummy cake for my dear friend's daughter who had her Bat Mitzvah this weekend. I also made 52 place card cookies in the shape of candles which we placed on top of each tier. I decided not to add borders because I wanted to carry each tier separately.

Critique Subgroup Member. The colors look good. I think the gold board washes out with the yellow bottom layer. I like the candy and design variations on each level...very fun. The cookies will add to the look when they get placed.

Critique Subgroup member: NICE work on the colors and smooth fondant! I like the really fun designs on each tier. I would have liked to see the yellows match in shade because the bottom layer looks out of place to me (especially because it's not proportionally sized with the other tiers). Do you have a photo with the cookie candles placed on the cake? I bet that looks fantastic!! Oh, and your photo looks great -- the dark background emphasises your masterpiece and the photo is nice and clear ;-D

critique subgroup member: very pretty cake! I like the color combinations, pastels always look more sugary sweet to me! your candies are adorable. the only thing that I can critique on is the color of the foil board. The gold doesn't flow with the color scheme.

critique subgroup member: What a fune cake. I really like the different designs on each level. I think my favorite might be the lollipops. I agree about the gold board, but that's the only critique I can offer. Everything else looks great to me and I imagine it was spectacular with all of the candle cookies in place.

Critique Subgroup Member: What a fun cake! I wish you had a pix of it with the cookies on it - I think it would even out the large bottom tier. Fun colors and love all the candy! :)

Critique subgroup member: This is adorable! Bright and cheery. Only a couple of things I woul dhave changed, the writing on the banner, needed a zinger font. The base of each tier could have used a border. Would love to have seen the cookies.

Critique subgroup member: additional cuz I oops, just read about your border thingsy, I think I would have brought a bag of tricks to the venue to spice up the seams though, but that is just me.....

Critique Subgroup Member: I love the bright colors and the overall design! Everything looks so nice and clean- the only thing I can see is that the cake board tends to blend with the bottom tier. Other than that, it's fabulous!

Critique Subgroup Member: I really like all the different colours on each tier and the different designs on each one (the hershey's kisses are my favourite, LOL)! It would have been great to see the place card cookies on the cake! Other than what everyone has pretty much said about perhaps using a different colour on your cake board I think this cake looks great!

Critique group memeber: This is such a fun design! I love all the paterns and treats! I do agree that the yellows should have matched and I think perhaps a good border for this cake would be a bead border since that is one of the more simplistic ones.
