Thanks! I had the hardest time with that basketweave and I am so glad it's over with! icon_biggrin.gif There is supposed to be a competition in March in Virginia near where my sister lives, so I might get to take part in that one, but I doubt it since she lives 7 hours away.

I also got 4's for "difficulty of technique and design" and "creativity and originality". Here is the link to my cake:

Thanks for all your encouragement, without CC I never would have had the guts to enter a cake competition!

Hey, hey!! Great work. See, we told you you had talenticon_smile.gif
Here's a tip for future flower making: Your pansies will pop if you paint a 'face' on them. Use a non-toxic food writer to make the marks. Non toxic fine line felt tip pens are great for this.

I think that it's amazing that you entered (and WON!) a contest! I am in my 30's and I wouldn't have any courage to do that. How amazing! Your cakes look great! Congratulations, and I hope you DO enter that contest near your sister. Best of luck! icon_biggrin.gif

Congratulations!! Your cakes are gorgeous and I think that is awesome that you have the confidence (and the talent that I am incredibly jealous of) to enter these contests. Can't wait to see more of your cakes icon_biggrin.gif

Congrats! That is awesome. I think you do wonderful work and very impressive flowers, I have seen people twice your age do flowers half as impressive. You should be very proud, keep up the good work. I get the chance to work with some girls about your age this week at my shop and I can't wait to see what they can do. I am always so impressed with such talent at such a young age. I can only imagine where you will be by the time you are 20. This is a great inspiration for my daughter too, she is only 5 and loves to decorate so you will be a great roll model for her to keep up with.

Good grief! You guys are making me blush! icon_redface.gif I keep on getting messages from people saying that I am such an inspiration to younger kids.

It is actually in Maryland in April (sorry about the wrong details, the director of the cake show I entered told me about the show but until now I had not had a chance to look it up).

Congratulations on a job VERY WELL DONE! Your cake was beautiful and the flowers are lovely (I still cant do violets/pansies after 15 years!) Keep up the good work and keep entering contests--you have the talent to do it!!
