Critique Group Member Four layer - ten inch old fashioned dark chocolated torted cake with my old fashioned mocha buttercream. Covered in fondant with gumpaste bow and gumpaste winter cranberry branches with gumpaste dried leaves. Lambeth border.

I agree with others about the board size. There's a shadow on the front corner, but I am assuming it is merely a shadow and not a flaw. The bow is incredibly perfect. What a beautiful cake.

Ya that's the lighting on the corner with my old camera - just got a new camera so hopefully I won't have such bad photos anymore.

Hmm...perfect - not many other words to describe this! Agree the color of the bow is perfect for the cranberries - nice match-up. Also agree your board is too small.

cranberry branches look very realistic. the color of the bow adds a very nice complimentary color to the berries and leaves. I agree the cake board could have been a bit larger as the gold foil added a nice accent. Very beautiful cake!

critique group member: Your bow is perfect...it looks real! I'm not sure if it's just the shadow, but there appears to be a slight imperfection in the corner and maybe a small bulge along the side...it could just be shadow, though! Overall presentation is wonderful!

Critique group member: I know this is different from everyone else who thought the design was perfect, but to me it just seems like there is something missing. It just seems to lack personality and like the otehr cake seems stark. Maybe if the fondant was colored instead of being white it would.
