2Nd Bday, Playful

2Nd Bday, Playful on Cake Central

This is a cake I made for a customer combining a couple cakes I saw in one. I really like how it turned out! The bow is fondant and dusted with luster dust and everything is done with buttercream. Thanks for looking

critique subgroup member: Are the colored lines BC? They seem a little inconsistent in places...like thicker in places, flatter in others. I like the colors you chose. I can not help you with the bow as I can't make one to save myself! :lol: I like the scalloped edges on yours. The cake board is nice.

Critique Group Member: Great colors and design. I like the bow and the '2' and your cake board is perfect. Only suggestion I have is to use a different colored bottom border - in my opinion white against white never matches well. Love the wavy cake top!

Critique subgroup member: Oh I never use fun ribbon around my board cuz I double quess myself, but yours is perfect! Lovely colors. I think I would have used the snails trail instead of shells because it would match the desgn a bit better. Stripes are hard to get straignt these are pretty good. I think I would put middles in the flowers for even more color. Your two is awesome. As for the bow, I have a inch hanging dowel that I slides my loops onto dry. Then I add the middle and hanging ribbons wet.

Critique subgroup member: Beautiful color choices1 Love the polka dot ribbon on the cake board! The only thing I would have changed is the bow. The loops IMO, should be more open and whimsical. The drapes on the sides could be more whimsical as well by drying them on curved objects. Other than what Tiptop said by adding a colored center on the flowers, this is a very lovely cake.

Critique group member: besides what has been said about the bow from tiptop, I really like this cake. Your colors really pop out and your ribbon border looks great with your design. :)

Critique group member: Fun! I love the colors! Critique wise I would work on the lines they are a little sqiggly in places. Also the bow looks a little "dead" to me I maybe would have liked to have seen it puffed up more and I think the there is too much bow going over the edge of the cake, it looks a little out of scale to me.

Critique subgroup member: Love the colors and the polka dot ribbon. I never think to put ribbon on my drums! The only suggestion I have, and this is just my preference, is maybe the bow should be propped up a little, since the 2 is standing? It gives the appearance of being too flat. I like the scalloped edgs on the bow!

critique subgroup member: wow! this cake is beautiful! i love your stripes and the bold colors! and i love the plain part at the top. the dots are a little sporadic and i know you had trouble with the bow (sorry, i don't know much about fondant...), otherwise, it's simply gorgeous! (oh, and i love love love the '2'!) well done!

critique group member. this is a very cute design.. i like the bow. i agree that the bottom border should maybe a different color as it kinda gets lost in the cake. the lines look a bit off in a few spots. Great cake overall.
