Gracias Cake

Gracias Cake on Cake Central

This cake was a 'semi-copy' by a cake done by Jaklotz1 (not near as detailed or professional looking as hers!). I made it for a team of construction workers who are remodeling our dining/kitchen. I'm just starting to get into modelling with sugarpaste so all comments/critiques are welcome (don't worry about hurting my feelings wiht constructive criticism - the only things I take personally are compliments!). Cake is buttercream covered and items are fondant.

great job on modelling! frosting is so smooth! not sure if bottom border looks choppy because you edited out background, or if it is the actual piping?

Great over all variation on a tool belt theme ;-D Good "male" colors. I appreciate your diamond work also. But I agree with practiceandpatience thaqt the border seems a little chopping. I have issues making dots appear similiar they seem so easy but in fact are so difficult. But I bet the workers thought it wonderful even dots or no dots. Look forward to seeing your next creation, each piece just gets better!

very nicely done and great color selection for a male audience. I agree with the above posters about the border being a bit choppy.. the top looks this way as well. Easier said than done believe me... LOL

your fondant work is getting so much more detailed! And I don't think I need to say it, but you do such fab work on BC designs!!!

CGM: Very Cool job. Overall a good looking cake. Tools look authentic. Side of cake near bottom border could use a little fill in from what I can see. But great cake just the same

Yeah - unfortunately my husband thought he was doing me a favor by editing out the background and messed up my dots. I'll try to repost a picture without his editing (wish he could have edited it into a work of art! :wink: )

critique group member: I agree with the other members about the border. Other than that...not much to critique. A very great cake.

I really like the colors and for just starting with modelling you did great. I almost thought you covered it in fondant it looks so smooth I think it is a great cake and tell hubby not to take off backgrounds til he becomes a pro ;)
