This cake is due tomorrow - I am not sure about it and would really appreciate honest opinions! Is it ugly? Do I need to scrape off the buttercream and start again? I'm stressing over it. icon_confused.gif

It's 12x18, devil's food cake with chocolate bc, cookies n' cream filling and bittersweet chocolate swirls.

looks very yummy to me? Maybe a couple of more swirls. Is it a paid order? If it's not I wouldn't worry about it. If it is, is it what they asked for? If it is then I wouldn't worry about it.

I think it looks great! Why do you think it is ugly? What did the customer request?

I think it's great too. I do agree with roxxy_luvs_duff that one more swirl to the left of the name would balance it out a bit. Your writing is wonderful!

You guys are sweet - thank you! Yep, it's the size and flavor they requested. I did make the chocolate swirls; thank you for the suggestions and I will definitely take your advice! I did the writing with white bark coating; I traced over the letters on a sheet of acetate and then just placed them on the cake - to me it's much easier that way. I guess I just get insecure, you know? That or maybe I need more sleep lol. I feel better now!!!

Did I miss something?! That cake is very pretty! I think you did a wonderful job and when you take a break from it and then look at it again tomorrow you will see that.

Personally, I wouldn't touch a thing. I like the randomness of the swirls. Love the lettering too.

I don't see anything wrong with your cake. I know how it is... sometimes you think it needs something else... trust me it doesn't. Plus your writing is fabulous. Can you teleport me a piece icon_biggrin.gif
