Well Here It Is, My Awful Father's Day Cake
Decorating By Karabear1125 Updated 18 Jun 2007 , 12:53am by Karabear1125
Well here is the finished cake, originally I wanted it to be scrapbook looking but had no idea and next thing I knew I ended up with this instead. I am not happy with it at all and don't even want to deliver it 
Is there anything else I can do so it looks a little better?
Everything I imagined it's not, It's a chocolate cake w/crusted creamcheese icing..I had it iced nice and smooth the other night woke up to a big crack in the middle of the cake, couldn't really fix it w/o ruining it so that's why there are those little fondant tools. Please give me some opinions and be honest, is it really bad??? My husband says it looks good but I just am so embarresed to deliver this cake
Anyways here it is :
You are being wayyyy to critical of it! Your husband is right, the cake turned out WONDERFUL!! I love the little tools on it!! 
Your cake is too cute! Remember --we see "mistakes" that others don't see!! You did good! 
I LIKE IT and I'm sure the recipient will, too.
Things happen when we go to sleep...I think I have little cake gremlins that test my patience and my abilities. You don't see them but when you wake up...you know they've been there...LOL!!!
Keep on cakin'...I couldn't even tell that there had been a crack in your cake so you did a great job repairing it.
Wow......that is a lot of work! And it looks great!! He will be sooooo thrilled!
Our cakes often don't come out the way we envision, but they're still good----and others don't know how it was "supposed" to be. We are our worst critics. Delilver this with a smile, then watch him smile!
You did a great job! I wouldn't change or add a thing!
ust imagine what the recipient must think when they look at this beautiful gift. I know what I would think....you did this for me? Look at the thought and detail that has gone into this. Please give yourself the credit you deserve. It is hard to be objective when you had something else in mind, but this cake is truly lovely. He will be very happy. Relax and be proud of your work.
This cake is awesome....you are being way too critical, I don't see a thing that could be changed to make it better!!!! Love this one, you should be so proud of yourself 
I think it is an amazing cake, we are our own worst critic! I'm still learning all these cake tricks, did a cake for my DH's first fathers day yesterday (he married into my two kids) and it was a disaster. I wanted to cry, but then remembered everyone on CC who says 'oh well, we try again'. And I will!! The poor guy, I apologized to him before he got home from work (at 2 am) when I threw in the towel at 1 am.
I wont even take a picture, I dont want to be reminded of this one.
Your cakes are amazing, you will get rave reviews on this one....
It's amazing! The tools make the cake more spectacular, so it may have been a blessing in disguise 
As said before, I am sure the client will be very impressed. Always exude confidence, so don't mention the flaws if they are hidden or if only you can tell they are there.
Great cake!

Are you kidding me. If this is your bad cake I would love to see your good one. The cake is wonderful. You did a great job. But I do know how you feel. You notice one little flaw and thats all you can see. Just remember we have cake eyes and if I've learned anything its that most people don't see cakes like we do. We notice how smooth the icing is, how evenly the borders are piped, how well the color has been blended. And for the most part, others don't notice, pay attention, or care they see the cake as a whole. You should deliver it and be proud.
That is not aweful at all..In fact my Dad would love this cake!!!Don't be so hard on yourself!!
this cake is wonderfull. just deliver it they will all love it. I had two cakes this week I was sooo nevervous and they both called to tell me that they were great cakes. thank God. sooo I don't worry. although I should be telling myself that. but it is just hard sometimes
SOMETIMES WE HAVE WONDERFULL IDEAS, AND WHEN WE FINISH THEM WE THINK THAT THEY ARE NOT GOOD AT ALL, I THINK THAT'S BECAUSE THAT THINGS WASN'T DIFFICULT AT ALL, AND WE RATE THOSE CAKES BECAUSE OF THEIR DIFFICULTY, I'M NOT EXPERT AT ENGLISH BUT I HOPE YOU GET MI PERSONAL OPPINION. YOURE CAKES LOOKS GREAT, YOU FIX THE DAMAGE AND NO ONES KNOWS ABOUT IT, GREAT JOB.
Your cake looks great. I couldn't see the flaws you were talking about. I think they will love it.
What's your problem?...this cake is great!!!!
Aww you guys are the best! Thank you all so much for the confidence, it's really what I needed and I'm SO glad that one is over with lol I was nervous the whole time in the car on the way there but you all were right and they loved it!! The kids kept saying "cool" and wanted to eat the tools!
Again thanks to everyone, I really appreciate it!
