Here are a wedding cake I did...I'd love to get your input, please. I really stressed over this cake, and if it weren't for the wonderful people that helped me through it, I'd have never past that day alive!!!!
I'm so glad it's over, but excited to do my next one!!!
Stay Sweet!

Very pretty, level cakes with sharp edges. Is this buttercream? It's very nice. I love the colors and your piping is symmetrical and even. Nice job.

Very clean design. I would personally have used a slightly narrower ribbon, and I'm not sure about the colours, but if that's what you were given to work with, it went well.
I feel like the roses get a little bit swamped by the sheer size of the cake - maybe bigger ones next time so that they are more noticeable.
Good job overall!

Thank you for all your nice comments on my wedding cake.
Thank you, lisatipperoo! Yes, it's all buttercream. I was quite happy with the smooth finish. My consistency turned out perfect! I don't know how I did it! I was pretty upset with the piping, I think it's lousy! I thought I was doing great, until I stepped back and looked at it. Practice, practice, practice!!!
To LizzieAylett: I agree with you. The ribbon was too wide, I tried and tried to find one that was more narrow, but not too narrow and could not. Thanks for the note on the roses, yes they should have been bigger. I also agree on the colors, I actually didn't like it at all. But the bride and her mother LOVED it, so I guess that is all that matters.
On another note...look at the cake topper. I thought it was AWFUL! It didn't fit the look of the cake at all. Is it ever okay to tell a bride that something that she picks to put on a cake won't look right on the finished product?

And P.S. No, it's never ok to tell the bride she made a mistake choosing her cake topper. Who knows, maybe her grandmother just died and this was something she gave the bride at her shower just before she bit the big one so it has sentimental value. You can never tell. The only time I comment on a topper is if it's too large, too small and needs something around it to fill it out or it's too top-heavy.

I think you did a great job. Not crazy about their color choices but your work looks super!


Anearly flawless silhouette and yes I agree with you, your piping needs work -- a good job but the piping looks like it was done by someone other than the one who iced it -- also noteworthy is the nice uniform smoothy smooth icing
