Hello everyone,
Not sure if this has ever happened to anyone but here goes..... Today I had a paid cake. It was a Nemo cake and I did it. BUT... I am not satisfied with my work. I found that the eyes on Nemo don't look right, I broke 3 fins and only had 4. When the customer came to pick it up, I didn't want to charge him at all. He said it looked fine but not to be rude (he is my cousin) and the person I am worried about is his wife. She is a beautiful person inside and out. But I still feel like I let her and her son Greg down. If you take the time to look at some of my pictures you would see the progress between each cake. At this point I feel like this was my first cake I have ever made. (horrible looking)
Anyways, the favor I am asking all of you is the honesty and truth about my cake. What did I do wrong and what can I change.
Thanks everyone
Sylvie
Cake is BC and the fins and eyes are royal icing.
Wow, I actually love it, I can not tell anything wrong with it from the picture at all & I am being honest. Great Job!
You did a great job, don't beat yourself up it looks GREAT
You have nothing to feel bad about. You should be proud! Hi,
I do see what you mean... it's the eyes. In most of the pictures of Nemo on the net, the white part of the eye is large, the black orb, is a little smaller. There is a bit of orange, but it is a much deeper, darker and duller shade.
And I think the white on the mouth is a little too thick... but I am being extremely picky here!

But I think the cake looks great, and I am sure Greg and his family were very happy with it.

I don't know anything about Nemo but your cake is fine.
Relax, you are being to hard on yourself.
I agree with karennayak ... I also think the white accents and mouth were a bit wide ... with that said I think the cake was great!!!! I can't inmagine that anyone would be dissapointed receiving that cake
you should see my masterpieces....not!!!..... but when my kids see my stuff all I hear is WOW!!!! they brag to everyone with so much pride my mom made that ..lol
I think the cake looks great. If I was at the party and looked at the cake I would definitely know it was Nemo with no question. I know how much work it took to do that cake. I just started decorating this past spring so I don't have alot of experience. I have only done 1 cake that I was really totally happy with. I can always find something wrong with every cake I do. My family always tells me the cakes look great. I think most people look at the cakes as a whole and being decorators we tend to look for every little detail.
