I am new to this site and I think it WONDERFUL!!
I need some honest feedback on this cake (besides my husband). I did this cake for a local fire dept. and all of the pieces on the cake are molded white chocolate (candy melts). The flames around the sides are candy melts streaked with color and I cut them out and I added a some BC piping to fill it in. I welcome any comments or suggestions good or bad. Thanks.
I think it's beautiful! I love it! My DH used to be a fireman...he would love this cake!
other than a few crumbs showing in your white frosting (which takes lots of practice to avoid)
you cake is very well done.
the flames are great -- nifty idea to use BC to fill the gaps.
your modeling skills are evident in the hydrant.
be proud! YDG! RG! (ya dun gud! real gud!)
I must say, it's very well done and I can't find much to complain about. Have you tried crumb coating?
I think it is a great looking cake! Love the flames and the way you did them. I wouldn't have even noticed the tiny amount of crumbs if someone here didn't point them out. In fact I had to go back to take a 2nd look to find them.
Wonderful job! Just wonderful.
The crumb thing is a little picky (Doug - you must have super-sight lol!), overall I think it's great!
i think your cake is great. the firemen will love it. it did seem like something was missing or off. i think its the water. you have great items like the ladder and hydrant and then the water is just a flat puddle. if the cake has a front i would v the water coming from the hose into the puddle. is there any writing going on the cake?
I think it looks wonderful!!! Of course I see the crumbs since they were mentioned but I have a hard time with that even when I crumb coat.
I think the water would look really cool if you used piping gel to make it look more realistic.
Oh yah....Welcome to CC!!!!
Hi Melanie Welcome to Cake Central!!
I think your cake is awesome!! You did a wonderful job!!!
Welcome to Cake Central! Great cake! Very smooth and great design. My only thought is that there is too much white on it? Maybe if there was something written on the cake or it was a different color it wouldn't stick out as much as empty space.
Love the flames. You did a really nice job.

I agree with angelas2babies it needs something else a fireman on top may be or writing, awesome cake though. I can't top that I am still struggling with crumbs, but I don't see any Doug is pretty good though
Good job be proud and it's a cake the firemen have never seen
You did an awesome job on this cake! I, too, didn't notice the crumbs and had to go back and take a second look. You should be really proud. The firemen are going to love this cake!
Thanks so much everyone I just love this site, I noticed the crumbs too! I'm working on the crumb coat thing, thanks everyone for the feedback.
very creative indeed- I did see a few crumbs, but I think that the majority of us still struggle or aren't quite satisfied with something we do. I love the flames and the way the hydrant spills over onto the top of the cake
I know it's too late but it would look cool if the water was spilling over the side and dousing the flames (that would help with the empty space on top).
Very cool cake though. I know everyone will love it!!!
Congratulations well done! Very creative, I love your flames and your icing is very smooth.
