My 1st ever wedding cake that I have been stressing about for 4 days!! A lady I know called and said her daughter was getting married on Saturday in West Virginia and needs a cake by friday!! So this was the best I could do on short notice!!

Any and all comments are greatly appreciated!!!!!

Thanks to everyone that help me on this!!!

Very nice!! I would love it if it were my wedding.

Icing smooth. Letters very nice. Flowers pretty.


Kudos to you. You pulled it off

Very simple and elegant, I love it!

It is lovely & elegant! Beautiful job.

It is very nice and smooth but didn't really like how the flowers are still on the wires it shows a lot may be next time group the individual flowers together but removing the flowers from the wire or trimming it I think that might help the flowers but over all just looking at it it is very impressive just trying to help I still can't get a smooth cake like yours

Great job.

Cakedecor, you read my mind. I LOVE the icing and letters, but the flowers are a complete turn off to me. The flowers are sticking up too high and not resting on the cake gracefully. I also like the color of the ribbon and letters.

Thank you everyone! I didn't particularly like the flowers that way either but the mother of the bride wanted them like that.
My icing is smooth thanks to the icer tip and VIVA paper towels!!

you did a beautiful job.

Thank you leana!

I still think it's an incredible cake I could never pull that off

I think you did a great job in the time you had. It's very simple yet elegant. Love it.

Cakedecor I thought that too the other night but thanks to everyone on here for their vote of confidence, I finally did it!

Very nice job! You should be proud of yourself. I have to say that some of my best work comes from something I don't have time to give much thought to! LOL

You mentioned an "Icer Tip". Where do you get one of those???

Absolutely beautiful...simply elegant. Be very proud! >^.,.^<

I got the icer tip from Wal-Mart!!!

How lovely! The flowers...well, the customer loved it right? And that is what it's all about!

The customer definitely loved it!! The mom said that was the nicest thing about her whole wedding!!

Yes, cakesunleased, it is a Wilton product! Well worth the $2 I paid for it!!

Very elegant tinewman!! I love it!!

Very smooth, elegant, very pretty! And the customer was happy. You did great!

"[i]Simple Elegance" Looks great, be proud!!!

I am still smiling from ear to ear!! I haved forbid the family from touching my $100 bill!!!

You only charged 100 dollars for those 3 cakes? Why they stole those unless they are 4 inch, 6 inch and an 8 inch cake....

Nicely done but you should have charged way more ESPECIALLY since you had so short of notice to do one...

absolutely gorgeous! No other word for it!!!! WOO HOO! way to go!!!

Can you give us some tips on using the icer tip? I've heard mixed reviews.

Lovely cakes. I especially like the monogram-style letter. Did you do that freehand? Gorgeous!

I think you did a great job!

mqguffey... I LOVE the icer tip!! I have tried all different ways for getting smooth icing and this is the best!I go around and on top of the cake with the icer tip....I then take my spatula and go over the sides ONCE... then rinse the spatula off with HOT water.... go over the top from the outside edges in ONCE. I wait for the icing to crust... then use my VIVA paper towels and smooth it usually only 1 time. I don't have perfect edges but at least it is smooth!!

The lettering is free hand also ( but with LOTS of practice! )

sundine2, the cake was 10,8 and 6. Ireally didn't know what to charge since it was my first one.

Thank you all for your compliments though!!

(kinda good for my confidence!! )

Thank you, tlnewman, for sending me a photo of that tip!!! I feel like such a dork for not knowing what you were referring to. Once you sent me the picture, I remembered seeing one of those before. Okay, now I will try it just as soon as I can.

Geez! I am grateful for this website and for all of you!! Since I am so way out here in the boonies, you guys are my only chance of learning anything! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
