AHello everyone. I completed my first true two tier cake last week and was curious if I could get some opinions on it. Any helpful critiques are much appreciated! I aim to learn as much as I can every time I make a cake. This was a game of thrones anniversary cake. Overall I'm happy but I tend to pick my work apart. Honesty will not offend me. Thanks in advance!
Overall its pretty good. One thing I would say is to get the tops of your cakes completely level, they are both a bit rounded. Also, I like the grass and rocks boarder around the top tier could looks a bit off. I think adding more rocks would have helped and not do the buttercream icing and just stick with the fondant grass. Other then that I think it looks good.
Good job for your first two tier, what stood out to me was that your sides and top are not dead level. When I was first learning I used a set square which I placed against the side of the cake to see how straight it was. The centre of the top cake is a little too rounded. Concentrate on getting the cake under the fondant straighter and your overall look will be more professional, as your fondant finish is quite good 
The first thing I do is trim my cake layers with a long serrated knife so I have three flat, even discs of cake. I then stack them on top of each other on the board I am going to torte the cake on. I then use the serrated knife to trim around the edges where necessary so when you look at it you have a flat topped, even, straight sided cake. It is a lot easier to end up with a straight, flat cake if you start with a straight, flat cake if you know what I mean.
