These did NOT come out like it was supposed to. The petals look like FRENCH FRIES!!! UUGGGHHH!! I think it's too warm in my house, and they seemed to melt some. Oh well, these are just for a bunch of 7 year olds. yuck!

I don't think it looks bad at all, a little melted maybe but still nice.

I think they look really cute! I never even would have thought of french fries if you hadn't mentioned them. The kids will love them!

I agree! No one think things look like something until someone suggests it! They are cute and the girls will love them!

if you tell them what you told us, they will find it funny and love them even more

I agree too. They look fine K'ly

If your really worried you can scrape the frosting off and put it all back in a bowl. then add some more powdered sugar to make it alittle more stiff. It may also help if you use (I think) tip 256 (leaf tip). Build up a wide base of the flower petal then pull out. They will look alittle more like petals and not french fries

They look like those mini sunflowers to me, just planted some in my garden. I'd leave them, they are cute

I think it looks fine!

Jess - I think they're cute! I wouldn't have thought of french fries if you had not mentioned it, but I did appreciate your humor. That comment just made me giggle. I think we're all a bit too critical of our own work.

Hey, at least in your area things are melting- in my area things are freezing!!!

Brahahahahah.......You think your sunflower is bad .......check this out, http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&meta=allby&uname=tiptop57&cat=0&pos=29 my husband called my sunflower cake a Jamaican Hat!

(Please - no offense meant to anyone from Jamaica!)

OMG Sunshine93 - Just what is your avatar doing? I almost wet my pants when I saw it. Too funny!

I think they look great. You gotta remember the "we are our own worst critic" thing. If you look at the cupcake, you think sunflower!
