Hello all!

I'm looking for some honest feedback! What do you think of my wedding cake?!

The fuzz is holding up the bow, that later fell! I guess I rolled the fondant too thin, and it was really humid. Other than that, what can I do to really WOW people?!

Thanks!! icon_biggrin.gif

It looks pretty good. The layers look nice and level and even. The fondant appears fairly smooth. I can suggest a couple of things that could make it better. The bow needs more loops. fondant should be mixed with gumtex or tylose to make it dry faster and harden. You can also use straight gumpaste. There is a good tutorial about bows in the articles section here.

It is important to pipe the borders so that everything appears straight and even. You can pipe beads from te side, almost like a shell. this helps round the bead, and hide any of the pointytips that show up on beads.

keep up thegood work.

Exellent. Agree with the suggestion on the bow; add a few more loops and its lovely.
