Thanks, everyone! This was a fun order because the client said "I like pink and love and romance and...well..do whatever you want." She was trilled with the results. Yippee!

Critique subgroup member: First off, the group knows I prefer not to write on a cake, however this cake is done very well and your letters are perfectly spaced and match the design and that isn't easy to do - woohoo. Is this a dummy cake? Your wonky style is perfect. On the topper I would have had an odd number and differering heights. Did you use a posy pick? Good for you! Your second layer appliqués should be thinner and you have some issues with the placement and the border. But the design is lovely.

Critique subgroup member: Ran out of room :oops: Your boards are screaming for help. Should be 2 to 3 inches from cake. You have a little bow falling off....check out cakevision.com for some great board looks. Overall this is a very pretty cake and you should be very proud.

Critique Group Member: This is so romantically gorgeous! The colors are perfect and your fondant is flawless. The flowers and leaves are so petite and darling. One thing you'll quickly learn in this group is the imporatance of a pretty cake board and that foil is ruled out - LOL. I learned that quickly too :lol: .

critique subgroup member: this is gorgeous! I have yet to try a topsy turvy style but oh how this makes me want to. The shade of pink is so perfect, very feminine and romantic without being overly girly

Critique Group Member: Fabulous - your cutouts are perfect! The only critique I can offer is to spruce up the cake board - maybe use one cake board covered in white with a pink ribbon (?).

Critique group member: Wow this is gorgeous! I love the pink and the silvery white colors! My critique would be that tin foil cake board does not do justice to this cake and the bottom tier seems kind of plain compared to the top and middle one, I would have maybe done the letters bigger so it took up more space.Overall is a fantastic job!

Critique group member: Very pretty cake. My only critique is the cake board. Too many wrinkles and it doesn't really compliment the cake! And that beautiful cake deserves a beautiful platform :)

critique subgroup member: This cake is very lovely...subtle yet elegant. I can see a few gaps at the borders between layers and your heart cut outs look a little bit thick, but it truly is beautiful. As mentioned, I would give such a beautiful cake a more exquisite board next time around. Nice work.

Thank you, everyone! I completely agree with the hideous cake boards, and the "falling piece" of fondant on the board is a butterfly that my son stuck there (I noticed and removed it before I delivered it). The lettering was made with a tappit.

Critique Group Member: Not much left to say after all of the great critiques. I did notice that your center tier is leaning to the left as it appears to be level on the top. Did you carve into the tier below it at all? I also think that your tiers could be a little taller. I agree with the cake board sentiments.. a nice fondant covered cake board that was bigger would have made this cake. I really love the feel of the cake.. very romantic. Great job! :)

critique subgroup member: beautiful colors and all the accents are gorgeous! and your fondant is what i can get only in my dreams! my only critique is that the bottom tier seems out of place because the other two tiers are more decorated. that's funny about the stray butterfly!
