Hidden Gems--Great Cake Photos Not Often Seen
Decorating By HollyPJ Updated 14 Jan 2010 , 6:11pm by thecakeprincess
Okay, I think I'm a computer idiot. I can't figure out how to post my favorites. I've gone to "My Favorite Photos" chosen a photo tried to hi-light the url but nothing happens what am I doing wrong? 
I go to the picture and I don't even hightlight I just right click and copy then I go to the forum and right click again them paste when you reply
What a great idea! I have just added several more photos to my favorites.
Here are a few that I have saved that are the favorites of less than 20 people... I think these deserve a first or second look.
In no particular order:
1. Uploaded By: Piamarianne - Winter doll
Wow, what talent we have on CC. The doll is amazing and the tiered cakes are flawless; a very classy cake.

2. Uploaded By: onceuponacake - Pillow Wedding Cake
I love the two pillow cakes and the Effiel Tower on top just sets it off. I'm still too chicken to try a pillow cake but I absolutely love this one.

3. Uploaded By: maplecakes - Valentine Birthday Basket
I really like the unique basketweave; the little hearts along the bottom and the sweetpea/rosebud heart outline. This is a really cute cake.

Thanks!! fooby, you've been holding a lot of talent in. Glad you have finally let it out. Checked out your photos, great cakes. And it's only been 5 months, 1 week and 1 day, can't wait to see what's to come.
fooby...only five months??? wow, i checked out your gallery. very nice. can't wait to see you in 10 months. you'll be too good to remember us...lol

(In no particular order)
my first cake is by fooby:
http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=348273
I love this cake because #1 I am a HUGE Yankees fan (born and raised in NY) and #2 it is beautiful and flawless and #3 she is an inspiration having only been doing this such a short time (like myself) and so talented
my 2nd is by laurawendte:
http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=325613
The whole cake is just beautiful, the figures are amazing and I love the waterfall!! I honestly can't believe it doesn't have 100 times as many saves.
3rd is by Karenelli:

I really like the colors, and the look of the flowers.
Thanks jenndga for the compliment! That was a fun one to do!
I am not going to post pictures from Thanh Thanh because it would be her entire gallery, so....I will have to say all of hers are among my favorites!
Ok, here are some of my favorites I can list.
Dolcesunshine20 - http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=39273 - I love the design on this wedding cake because it is not something you see all of the time. Very unique and beautiful.
gakali - http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=39213 - this, too, is very unique and beautiful....I just love it.
Gina_A - http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=617343 - This photo was just added today and I love the creativity she used with the Wilton scroll press. I love that press and this is one more way to decorate with it. Check out the entire wedding cake....Color combo is really neat.
Thanks for creating the thread...it is fun!
this thread is so cool. you get to see what some of your favorite decorators find as their favorite decorators
O.K. I finally figured out who did some of the cakes that I saved to my desktop. There they TOTALLY AMAZING.

kneadacookie and blue, thank you very much for your kind words.
I would like to add my three favorite cake decorators. No particular cake to point my finger on but more on their skills. In no particular order...
cakemommy and ThanhThanh for their fabulous piping skills. One of these I hope to be as great as both of you!
sandralita, liis and aine2 (my SPL) for their magnificent modelling skills.
and
emmascakes for her artistic vision and painting skills.
I look up to all these women and hope that one day I can be as good as any of them. 
Three of my favorite cakes happen to be by the same person
The phenomenal mekaclayton. All of her cakes look amazingly real.
The first is Money In The Bank:
