I made this cake for a good friend who was ordained to the priesthood. I planned this cake for a long time and asked lots of questions and searched the galleries for ideas. It looked so good in my head but when I was finished it just didn't look as good as what I had imagined. I have caked that I have done that for some reason I don't like and I can't put my finger on what looks wrong to me. I would really appreciate other cakers eyes to tell me what I could have done to make this cake better. Don't worry about hurting my feelings. Any criticism is okay. I just want to make my cakes as good as they can be.
Just a little info on the cake. It is a 6,8,10,and a 12 inch chocolate with cookies and cream filling and white with strawberry filling iced in buttercream. I used a stencil for the scrolls and the drapery is MMF . The chalice and the lilies are gumpaste. Thanks for any tips.
I think that it looks great! The only thing...and it is a stretch...is that I think that the drapes are kind of 'skinny'
The only thing I can see that you would want to work on is your fondant draping. I think with just a little more time playing with it you'll find out how to drape it without it looking too tight.
I think the cake looks beautiful. Its hard to see the scroll work in the pic but regardless great job! 
i agree it is a stunning cake!!! of course EVERY thing can be improved upon, but i think is is breathtaking just like it is. if you wanted to change something i would agree the drapes are a bit skinny. too bad you can't hit print on the picture in your head, lol, than we would really know what you were trying for. other than making the drapes bigger i honestly cannot think of any thing else to imporve on it. once again, it is gorgeous

Looks like the cake from CAKEBOSS the other night.
Beautiful cake. I have to agree, i think the only part i would improve on is the draping. I think if they were a bit wider it would soften them and make it more realistic. Otherwise great work.
