First of all I love the way you did your board. Did you make the ladybugs, snails etc? This is such a cute design. Love the "running water"

The lady bogs, snails, butterflies and inchworms are all hand made with fondant or made from RI. Yes, I made them all. Thanks for your comments.

Critique subgroup member: As with your other cake, I I love everything about this cake but the hat. It remindes me of the cakes with a ball stuck on top and I don't get those either. It just seems to be an odd design. Love the colors.

Critique subgroup member: i love the colors you used and the piping gel looks like water being poured. great job!

Critique subgroup member: great job! I love the effect of the piping gel- looks just like running water!!

critique subgroup member: colors are very pretty! I love the piping gel, adds a great realistic touch! not sure if the watering can was textured to look old?? and think that the top of the watering can should not have been painted the silver as it looks like it is covered and not open to fill with water.

Critique Subgroup Member: I do not remember this one coming through the CSM pike. It's so creative and adorable!! I LOVE the grass!
