I DID IT !!!!
Ok, this was my first wedding cake, I was fairly pleased even though i'm never completely happy with my projects but....

The bride and groom saw a pic in a magazine in blue which i've attached and she wanted it in pink. When i delivered it and set it up the groom and the bride's father and mother were around and saw it but i'm not really sure if they liked it or not. I was a little disapointed

What does everyone think?? is it ok?

I think it is beautiful. You did a great job on it. Can't see why they won't like it. thumbs_up.gif

I think you did a nice job on your first cake. The only thing that I saw was that your cake layers may have been a little shallow and your filagree decor may have needed a little more scrolls in it. Other than that you did great. Keep up the good work.

I love that pillar in the center holding it up. I've got to do my first wedding cake in a few weeks. Do you mind telling me where you got it.

By the way, your cake looks great!! thumbs_up.gif

Agreeing with cupcake here...but I think your actual cake looks better....
The scroll work core is a little heavy but you did an amazing job and can feel very proud of a job well done.

It's beautiful! Don't worry about what the parents thought. I think that you gave the bride and groom exactly what they asked for...and that is all that matters!!! thumbs_up.gif

aww thanks guys i feel much better. i agree about the scroll work core but i guess a little more practice is all that's needed there. My fingers were nearly splitting after doing that lot!!

Do you know what? I AM proud of it!!!!! icon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gif

You should be proud of it. I think you're copy is as close to the original except for the color. We have to stop being our own worst critics.

It looks great , just like the picture they gave you!! If I may say, the only thing I would've done is make the cake a little bit thicker, instead of 3" high I would do 4" or even 4 1/2". For some reason that seems to impress people, at least in my experience. It really looks awesome though, I'm pretty sure they loved it!

You did a great job copying the picture. Perhaps the parents just had other things on their minds? Have you heard from the bride? She's the one who counts!

No I haven't heard from her. I suppose that's a good thing, i suppose if she really hated it she'd let me know by now! I'll treat no news as good news and i'm gonna be proud of my cake!!!
