I've been MIA for a little while but here is a cake I did this weekend. I have to admit my mind is getting ready to do my daughter birthday cake this coming weekend so I don't think I'll feel the 'love' on this one - lol The monkeys turned out really cute though icon_biggrin.gif

I haven't seen much from the group lately, I hope it's still a go...if it is here are a few I've done since my last post.

Done for my daughter's 3rd birthday - not as clean as I'd like icon_sad.gif

This I did as an individual cake for my aunt (celebrated the same day as my daughter)

I finally tried my first topsy turvy cake over the holidays. It was more to try the style so the decor is very minimal

And lastly I did this cake for a 2nd birthday. I am so proud of this cake I thinks it is my favorite one I've done to date icon_biggrin.gif

Agreed! I've just been a Facebooker for so long now that I have completely ignored CC! I miss it here. Time to take care of my priorities. icon_wink.gif

I wish I could figure out how to get luster dust and/or fairy dust to show on photographs...

Thanks for taking the time to critique my work.

I, too have been AWOL. I sold my house, got married, moved 1/2-way across the country, and finally got all my cake stuff unboxed! icon_lol.gif No time for caking yet! icon_redface.gif

Happy baking everyone! thumbs_up.gif

Hi, hope everyone had a good weekend.

It seems as tho it's all sheet-cakes, all the time, for me lately!

Okay, so I haven't been on here in a very long time. I'm only an occasional caker so I haven't been real busy lately. These are the latest 2 cakes that I've done. icon_biggrin.gif

I know we're our own worst critics, and I've already dissected these in my head. I imagine that many of the comments will be what I've already critiqued in my head, but I appreciate them anyway. thumbs_up.gif

Here is one I did today for a friend of mine. I really liked doing this one- after being in a rush to finish cakes at work, it was nice to sit down and take my time on something for a change. Thanks in advance!

Hello, all!

This was for one of my favorite customers, she always gives me creative license! This time her order was for a lingerie shower cake, and "the bride is using peacock feathers in some of her decorations", here is what I came up with...no feathers, but some of the color.

As always, thanks for taking the time to critique my cake!

After taking the pic, I decided to swap Jessie and Buzz...the proportions were off, and I was thankful that none of my little guys broke!

Hey, I would love to join! My Name is Sarah, but most people call me Jay!

I have been making cakes for about 3 years now, and started with the Wilton classes, and then self taught with fondant and gumpaste, molding, flowers, and so on.

I have done a few cakes recently that I would love you all to critique! They are:

http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=1581390

http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=1555174

http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=1534060

Hope that works!

Well, critique away, because honestly I love to post my photos here first, and then when no one leaves comments or tells me anything about the cake, I feel like im just not doing a great job. I guess I am sooo inspired by the pros on here, that I look up to everyone on here to say that my cake was okay, or needs work! Thanks everyone!

Hi everybody! This is the first I've seen of this thread! I'm a newbie-just started decorating cakes in November. I just finished Wilton's 2nd course yesterday. Everything else I've learned is from this site (I admit I'm thouroughly addicted!). Even though I havn't yet developed a lot of decorating skills, I'd love to receive some critiques so that I can improve! I'm looking forward to being apart of this thread!

This cake is my favorite, BUT not one of my best cake. I had such a trouble with the gumpaste figures, after they dry all the men figures looked so old. We had good laugh when I presented this cake.

Thanks sylly. And thank you for your comments on my cakes! Your responses were exactly why I jumped at the chance to be a part of CSM! I plan on getting some cake foil today but do you have any other suggestions for food safe coverings for the boards?

You can always use fondant. Some people use wrapping paper, scrapbook pages, even wallpaper- you have to cover it in plastic wrap to make it food safe. icon_smile.gif
