I agree. it looks great. I can see why he loved it!

Told ya, told ya, told ya! BEAUTIFUL and well received. Sometimes we really are hard on ourselves!

I think your I-pod cake looks awesome! You are being too hard on yourself!

Sometimes I think (and this may not be the case here) that people post these "I'm so disappointed in my cake" threads just to get compliments. Clearly this cake is awesome!

In ALL honesty, I think it is great! Good job!

I can say in all honesty that I was NOT looking for compliments when I posted about being disappointed. The image *is* off-center (you can't see it so much in the pic).

Imperfections don't bother me so much but I wanted this cake to be absolutely perfect because I was the one presenting the cake to my nephew at his party (in front of all of my family and a ton of friends). My hockey cake was a little crooked as well, but it didn't bug me because it was a birthday cake and I know that I'll make lots more of those for him in the future, but you only have one bar mitzvah in life.
