Thanks! I had the hardest time with that basketweave and I am so glad it's over with! 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.

Congratulations!! Now that you got your first competition out of the way, the rest will be easy! I bet you are thrilled you entered now!!
I got 2nd place!!!!!!!! The judges gave me 5's for "neatness and precision", "choice and use of color", "attention to detail" and "overall appearence". 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!

I saw your cake at the show, and was very impressed! You did good, kiddo! Congrats!!!
Hey, hey!! Great work. See, we told you you had talent
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!
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
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.
Hey Daisy1993, congrats on your cake, it was a very cute cake! Where is the competition at in VA? Is there a website for it? I just did my first competition in the state fair and I'm hooked! How do you find out about all these cool contests?? Please share!!
Daisy1993,
Your cakes are so nice Smooth icing, wonderful border flowers are just beautiful,
HELLO, HELLO YES YOU SHOULD. YOU ARE VERY TALENTED
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW IF YOU COULD WIN IF YOU DON;T TRY IT'S JUST LIKE LOTTO YOU CAN WIN IF YOU DON'T PLAY,
SO GO FOR IT AND DO IT, BEST OF LUCK
GOD BLESS

Good grief! You guys are making me blush! 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!!
