It seems that my cakes are just getting more and more amateurish the more I do Confused ! It's no wonder I can't get any business - I wouldn't want my cakes either! Perhaps it's time to take a step back for a while, or at least until I get my next paying order! Here's the latest bad job, my filling (strawberry pudding - first and last time I'm using pudding as a filling!), has started to leak out - I dammed it really well too! It's hot here today, so maybe that's not helping. Thankfully this is just a cake for the in-laws, my other half is going there for dinner tomorrow, although I'm a bit embarrased to send this Rolling Eyes :

Hope it gives you all a laugh anyway Wink !!!

I did a cake the other day which was so awful, I didn't even post a picture, it was that bad - sigh!

Surprised If this is what you call amateurish, then I think that I need to consider quitting the decorating altogether!! I think that you did a great job on this cake!! Thumbs Up!

Seems we are always our own worst critics-we expect so much out of ourselves-you did a great job and have alot to be proud of-take a deep breath and relax-you will be fine-we have all the confidence in the world in you!!!

BonJoviBabe,

I think your cake looks very good, we all seem to be really hard on our self here at CakeCentral. I think we all need to take a step back and really look at what we create everytime we make a cake. It puts a smile on the face of the person you give it to, and gives them a happy belly!

please don't give up, your cakes are way to pretty for you to do that! USA

BonJoviBabe,
It sounds to me like you're getting a little burnt out. You're cakes are definetly something you should be proud of, they look great! Give yourself a break, take a breather, you'll feel much better about yourself and your cakes.

If that is awful, I want to be that awful!!! Its beautiful. Take a break from beating yourself up. YOu do great work. Like everyone else has said, we are our own worst critics. Hang in there, take a deep breath and have fun with it!
