I just finished this cake for my godchilds 2nd birthday. Her theme is cinderella and the little cake will have a cinderella candle, the middle cake a cinderella frame with the birthday girls picture and the big cake a coach and horses. They will be placed on at the party.
My question is, do you think I need to put some small drop flowers on the sides and maybe add some leaves or is going to be too much?

or little swiss dots?

or strings of pearls?

or just leave as is -- once those decos are on it, it will look complete I bet.

I love how smooth they look!
I would add something on the sides, maybe some drop loops with the matching flowers (like the ones at the bottom) at each of the loops meeting points? Or add some leaves to the flowers at the bottom, that would be nice too.
Good job! remember to take final pics!

I love the melvira method!!! That's how I get them so smooth.

I don't think I could do drop loops, I'm still new to alot of the techniques and I don't want to mess it up!

I can't wait to see it all put together!

Thanks!

pearls in sort of a diamond pattern (like on the cakes that have the diamond embossing w/ the pearl at the points...only in this case no embossing --- although that's an idea too!)

still think tho', that w/ the decos on it won't need anything more!

(oh and love the color combo!!!!!)

You could make the pearls look like they are draping over the edge. Pearls and Cinderella go very well together. I think they look great as is too...very pretty.

I think that since I am a bit on the sleepy side that it looks good for now. LOL.
OK, I'm with you Doug, with all the toppers it should be good. I don't want it to be over the top.
Thanks everyone so much for your help. I'll post pics of the completed cake ASAP.

All the toppers we purchased. We got the picture frame at the disney store. The carriage and horses were bought at Iparty in the cake section. The flowers are RI drop flowers and all the cakes we a different flavor (chocolate, funfetti, and Classic Yellow).
