What if you just added some squiggly (sp?) blue lines on the top... like the ones you have on the side? and maybe small yellow dots? I think you just have a lot of white... not that it looks bad. I think it looks great, but sometimes too much white is just overwhelming.
Maybe you could pipe more icing for the border... but that probably would ruin the design you were going for. Some sprinkles and ribbon curls on top would be cute too 
I like the idea of some sprinkles on top breaks up the white..
Thanks everyone for the tips. I think I'm going to take along my bags, haven't cleaned them out yet. That way I can add if I need to. Also taking some curling ribbon to help add some color. If it looks better when I'm done adding the toy (haven't seen it yet) and whatever else I add, I'll be sure to post an updated photo.
You've reassured me that this isn't as bad as I thought it was. Thanks for that!
squiggly lines is exactly what I was thinking too! good luck! post the end result!
Well, I arrived to the party late. It was raining hard and there was an accident ahead of us. Anyway, when I arrived there wasn't time to do anything else to the cake and my aunt had already decided not to use the toy she bought, but instead placed a smaller Batman candle on top of the cake, then she added a purple and white "8". I wish I'd offered to make her something that matched. I placed some curling ribbon on the board and added some clear edible glitter just to make it sparkle a bit, but no one at the party said a word about my cake. Just that it tasted great. Usually I get comments, so I was a little down last night. Ever been there?
The cake did taste great, so at least there's that.
I think it turned out just fine. Nice smooth icing on top!
I think it turned out really nice. I really like the way you decorated the sides and the batman symbol on top looks really nice too. Don't let it get you down that no one said anything. Most people who don't decorate cakes don't understand all the hard work and that it means something to us for them to appreciate it. Be proud of your hard work, you did a great job!!
