Please Tell Me This Cake Isn't Bad :(
Decorating By Karabear1125 Updated 12 Aug 2007 , 7:38pm by KlyKat
I made this cake (10', 8') for my cousin's wedding shower for tomorrow and well this is what she showed me a picture of but she wanted these colored orchids, lilies (whatever they are lol). Anyways, Can you please reassure me that this cake looks ok? Does anything need to be fixed, added to it?? I just think it's really UGLY and it just disgusts me! 
Also, can you notice the top tier bulging? Honestly?? I tried my best to "disguise" it, but well who knows! .. THANKS so much to my great cc'ers.
I appreciate any feedback! Thanks 
nope, not bad at all.... I think you did a fine job!

You did a pretty decent job. Looks good. The only thing I would suggest for the future is making the flowers a size that's proportionate to the size of the cake. That way it does not overwhelm the cake. But like I said you did a pretty decent job.
Don't beat yourself up...
I think you are your own worst critic.( I am guilty of that as well.)
And that this cake is beautiful!
You did a great job, and noone will see what you see at that shower.
I am positive they will love it!!!!!
Thanks so much you guys for the compliments. I agree the flowers are pretty big but that's what she wanted and I did try telling her but well I guess these brides to be are pretty determined with what they want instead of what looks 'good'.
Maybe it's just because I didn't like the whole design of the cake to begin with, that I just think it looks like someone puked over this cake. haha sorry if that offended anyone. I dunno I just want her to pick it up already so I don't have to look at it and think that "I suck and this whole cake decorating maybe isn't for me after all?"
Sorry for the vent..I hope everyone has a good night and thanks again for the reassurance that really did make me feel better
Thanks
Don't beat yourself up over the brides bad taste. You did what she wanted and it looks fine. : )
It doesn't look bulging to me either. You did a great job on what you were given to work with.
: )
Karabear1125,
O HONEY I THINK YOUR BEING TO HARD ON YOUR SELF THAT CAKE IS BEAUTIFUL YOU DID A GREAT JOB. YOU REALLY DID
HEY I AM FROM NEW YORK I TELL IT LIKE IT IS TRUST ME THERE IS NOTHIG WRONG WITH THAT CAKE.
NICE WORK 
Doesn't look like its bulging to me at all..Looks Great!
I don't think it looks bad at all. I really like your flowers. Are they red or orange red? I can't tell from the picture. I'd like to make some like that too if you wouldn't mind telling how you made them. The only thing I would change about the cake is to reduce the number of picot on the sides. I also can't stand to keep a cake around longer than I have too. Once it's finished I want it out of my sight. 
I really think it turned out beautiful also! But again, someone else said you are your own worst critic! I'm the same way! YOu did a fabulous job and I'm sure they will love it. As for brides, yes...they have these pictures in their mind. If they like it, they like it. I sometimes wonder why people request the thing they request!
Aww you guys are the best *HUGS* Thank you everyone for the kind words and for the reassurement.. I can finally stop stressing over it, the bride just left and she was in her glory and loved the cake, while I was cringing the whole time haha 
Thanks again, everyone here is so great and kind
Hi,
I think it looks great..but I understand how you feel. I did a wedding cake a few weeks ago and thougth that I did an awful job. As everyone was telling me we are our own worst critic. Of course everyone told me it was very nice and they loved it and yours will be the same.
