I need help?! This didn't turn out exactly how I imagined it. But I think it still looks okay? It will be the topper to a birthday cake I have due on Fri. I need any suggestions or comments before it gets shipped from Wyoming to N.Dakota.

Thanks

Is it a Monogram? It looks okay, but don't know what you want to accomplish. ??

I'm not sure what it says, or how big it is. Can you give us some details please?

The top left circle seems to be missing something. Maybe a dove, or any bird of some kind. Or you could even add a few more of the beads in that area.

It looks great!. Love to see pictures if you add anything more.

It is supposed to be "90", for a 90th birthday party. Just trying to accomplish "pretty"? Without being too overdone or too gaudy.

It is approximately 5.5" high and 6" wide. Will go on a 10" cake. may add roses at base, not sure yet?

I noticed the "90" right away. It looks beautiful. It will be stunning on a birthday cake, especially for someone turning 90!

I thought it said 90 and yes it is very pretty! I think size4again is right. It needs something on top of the 9 to balance it out

OK--duh...Now I see the 90. Yes the top left circle maybe needs a blossom? Otherwise it is pretty! thumbs_up.gif

I like it just as is! Knew it was a 90 right away and I don't personally think it needs anything in the top left, I like that it looks unbalanced slightly, it helps to focus on the numbers themselves. I think if you add somethign there it will be hard to tell it is a 9.

I have to agree. I like it the way it is. I could tell it was a 90 right away as well, and I think you've accomplished "pretty". icon_smile.gif

I agree! I like it how it is. Adding too much will take away from the numbers and make them harder to read.

Thanks for all your comments. This is the end result. I didn't add anymore to it though. The order was for a 90th birthday cake. The only information I was given was that her birthstone is amethyst (sp?), she collects chickens, and her favorite flowers are violets! I was really asked if I could do an "elegant" chicken cake. I had to prodd to get the other information. Since I couldn't figure out how to make chickens "elegant" I just winged it! HaHa!

Anyway, the chickens are just fondant molded in a chocolate mold brushed with gold luster dust, with a fondant background. Tried to get a cameo feeling with it?

Over all I think I'm happy with it?!
