OK GUYS PLEASE BE HONES TWHAT SHOULD I DO OVER WITH THIS CAKE IT IS DUE IN THE MORNING..I REALLY THINK I DID THE NET TO BEG.....I TRIED TO FOLLOW AND CC AND I DID NOT COME CLOSE WHAT SO EVER...IM FEELIN REALLY BUMB RIGHT NOW....

I HATE WHEN THIS DOES NOT POST SORRY FOR THE BUMP

ok i think the net is way to big

I think your addition of the netting was very clever!!!

I'm trying to picture what a net actually looks like(I'm not a basketball person)....do you mean you made the string work for the netting too big?

Maybe a basketball person will come along and give you better advice than I can.

The backboard and ball are great but the net is a little thick and therefore looks a bit distorted.Can you try and scrap it off and make thinner lines.I
ll try and do a google to get you a picture of netting to help out!!

Laurel

yeah that exactly what i mean......thank you for your comment

I think it looks great. I don't think anyone else would think about that. It's such a neat cake that I really don't think anyone is going to be standing back saying...gee..you know I think that net is to big. You did a great job.

Heres a net...hope this helps!!

I think it's cute as all get out.

I dont think you should make yourself crazy about the net.. It looks good. The top part of the net is bigger on a real hoop anyway. YOUR CAKE LOOKS GREAT!! just the way it is.

I agree with Sweetpeeps & Gingoodies! The cake is fine. We are our own worst critics - you did a great job, Trent!

Cute idea. I would not change it. By doing so you are likely to destroy the ball too.

While it may be a little thick no one will notice it unless you say something. I like it as it is.

It's a clever idea and done well. Leave it alone.

In the words of my daughter after every cake I make..."It looks perfect Mom, just LEAVE IT ALONE!"

I agree with the majority. The net doesn't have to be perfect. I think the cake looks really good. I would leave it alone. Whoever it is for isn't going to be nearly as critical as you are on yourself.

I agree that trying to change the net will likely result in tears! And a ruined ball!! Leave it be. Looks cute! next time you make one you'll know to make the net a bit smaller.

I think it looks good, but if you are not happy with it then you should change it if you have the time. I agree if you don't say anything about how you feel then they won't care and they will love it.

Trent, you know, the important thing is how does Joseph like it? Is he saying the net's too big? Look at it as an opportunity...the next time you design a net, you'll know to make the netting smaller. None of us achieve perfection on the first try. I think it's great...and a happy birthday to Joseph.

I think it looks fine. Only thing I might do next time is put the backboard farther up and have the whole ball on the base cake. The net looks good. I wouldn't think it'd be easy to try and scrape off the net and redo it. They'll love it.

Don't kill yourself over the cake, it's adorable......

ok i did end up changing the let...its ok i actually like the 1st net better,,,,,,o well 1st time making this cake so im pretty sure i will o alot better nextt time

I think it is really a very neat cake. I don't think the net is too big but maybe if you had extended it beyond the bottom of the ball it could offset the big-net-thing....which looks fine. I guess my idea is a bit gravity defying but white fondant stuck into the end of the ball to give the illusion of the bottom hanging part of the net?

I think it is such a creative idea for a cake and I'm sure as soon as my daughter sees it she will be hitting me up for one for her basketball team.

We are all our own worst critics.... I can't tell you how many thing I have RUINED trying to "fix" them!

The cake looks great even with the thick netting!

I agree ,your cake looks fantastic!

I agree with the rest. Cake looks pretty good but the net is too large and thick. Leave it be.

customer loved the cake and she said people loved thecake itself..she also placed 2 more orders from me..she said that other people at the bowling was coming over looking at the cake saying how nice it was...

Well see, there you go, they all loved it! That ought to teach you to listen to us....LOL More orders! Good job!
