This is an 8" marble cake iced in BC basket weave. the stars and moon are gumpaste, and the baby, teddy bear, and baby blanket are fondant. The stars are brushed with pearl dust to give them a little shine

Critique Subgroup Member: What a sweet cake. I like the blue and yellow basketweave. It looks uniform all around. The simple cake board goes well with the decorations on the top of the cake. Your moon, stars, and figures look great also. Is the white icing at the base of the moon/stars supposed to look like clouds or is it just holding the pieces in place? If clouds, I might make the a little bigger or exten them out so it's easier to tell they are clouds.

critique subgroup member - this cake is so precious! I wouldn't change a thing. I think the clouds are perfect - I think if you added any more, they would over take the cake. Your two-toned basketweave is perfect. I love how it looks (and I'm not normally a fan of basketweave!). The figurines are also amazing. Great job!

Critique Subgroup Member: How adorable!! I love everything about it. The figures are just perfect, as is the basketweave. You have the baby's body shape so exact - it looks like a real baby - and the teddy bear is soooo cute. The ONLY thing I would have done extra would be to lightly sand (with superfine sandpaper) the edges of the moon. Moon face is PERFECT, too. Excellent work.

Critique Subgroup Member: I totally agree with the consensous!! This cake is gorgeous . I can't find a thing you should change, except, maybe send it to me :twisted: The basket weave is flawless, as with the rest of your work :D

critique group member: Such an adorable and pretty cake. Love the decorations on the cake and the baby and teddy bear are cute; wish it was a little closer though. I do think that the cake board could be a little smaller or maybe some figures could have been added to the board to make up for all the space. However, the board goes well with the colors of the cake.

Critique Subgroup Member: Wow what a cake! The colors are wonderful, the basketweave is perfect! The modeling is well done. The cake board - well bravo on the board! Only one small change I would have made, I would make the cresent moon smaller - 1/2 sized it, because it seems to overpower the rest of the composition. But heck if that is all I wouldn't worry about it :wink:

critique group member: wow, this is a really nice cake. Your board is really professionally done. the yellow and blue basket weave is perfect! I LOVE the baby and teddy bear. The only thing I could say is I think the moon could've been a little smaller...makes it look like the cake is going to tip over. and I would've extended the clouds out a little more so you can see cause that looks nice also. This is such a sweet cake! Nice work! :D

Critique group member: Oh how cute! I love the baby and the bear! Other than the moons edges being a little rough it looks perfect to me!

Critique Subgroup Member: this cake is adorable!! I really like the way the baby's blanket drapes over the side of the cake. I agree with Susie that you could have smoothed out the side of the moon with some fine sandpaper.
