Ok, I know it doesn't compare to most of the cakes on this site, but i was pretty pleased with how it turned out.
She (my mom's friend) wanted a simple looking cake for her MIL's birthday. Chocolate was a must. This is a chocolate cake with fudgy filling and chcolate buttercream (thanks Serious_Cakes!)
Anyway, thanks for looking!
Congratulations!! It looks and sounds delicious! Your buttercream is so smooth! and you letters perfect!!!
I'm sure they will love it!
I think that is just beautiful! Looks delicious...honestly, this makes me hungry for some chocolate!
awesome
Congrats on the first sale!
While the design is modest.. your execution is fantastic!
I am always soo jealous of anyone that can write with such easy and beauty in icing...I fail at this miserably...
That looks really nice!! "I'm ready for a slice, got my coffee brewing".. Your letters look good too!! Keep up the great work, can't wait to see more pics!!
Your cake is beautiful. That frosting is so smooth--it's a old saying but--You Go Girl.When I return in my next life I am going to be able to have smooth frosting too.
You did a great job! It is a beautiful cake. I think that chocolate is hard to decorate with/ around and your simple design was lovely!
I have one small suggestion since you are starting to sell them. Make sure to cover your board. Not only does it add a nice finishing touch, it also prevents oil from seeping into the cardboard which can make it weaker. I would hate to see the board buckle when they go to put it on the table!!!
O.K. Lisa, you did a great job smoothing and I also love your writing. What was your trick for smoothing (always curious the different methods people use).
P.S. I love your avatar. So nice to see who is posting!
How funny my first sale was also a round chocolate cake!!! I was so proud I wanted to post it on every corner! Great feeling isn't it? You did a great job!!!
This is a great cake! Your icing is so smooth and I love your handwriting on the cake. Looks delicious!
This is a great cake! Your writing is wonderful and the chocolate, chocolate, chocolate? YUM!
