Critique Subgroup Member: I especially like the presentation. I do agree with ac2steachk. Otherwise everything is smooth and consistant. The ribbon and bow were a nice touch.

critique group member: wow! This is a really beautiful cake...but I am going to be soo nit picky right now :oops: you have leaves that go with your roses but they are fully flat on the board and do not go underneath the roses. and I would've like to see the pearls draped in the front more. yes, the edge of your box lid is not even...but, I am jealous of this cake! soo much better than mine. And I LOVE the ribbon roses and the shoe! :D

Critique Subgroup Member: The colors are beautiful & the shape of the shoe is good. I like the shiny bow on the shoe. Looks like the box lid doesn't really fit the box. I don't mean to sound mean here, but your pearls are good reason for me why I'm going to make individual fondant pearls (instead of using a mold) for my daughter's wedding cake. The area between the pearls looks too chunky. Overall, very visually pleasing.

Critique subgroup member: My first shoe years agao didn't have a template or cutter either. No such thing back a few years ago used my own also. You shoe is lovely! Your blue color is sweet also. I like your unwired flower arrangement & your pearls are a nice touch, should clean the edges of them tho. One thing, Your box is too plan a complimentary color or tissue or something would make it stand out nicely. Then of course your board is too big....sorry my special pet peeve.

Critique Subgroup Member: Your cake looks great. I like the color combination. Two notes: the edges of your box top aren't quite flat at the corners and it looks like the seam at the heel might be a bit loose or not tucked in. Good idea to use your own shoe for a model. The little bow is very sweet.

Critique subgroup member: THe shoe looks great! Great color and style. The ribbon is wonderful. Heel area could be neater. Great ribbon roses too. Writing is terrific. Box is good, but the color doesn't do it for me. The lower corner of the box top also could be crisper. And, it could use some detailing -- like a print or something. Oh, and the pearls looks awesome too!

Thank you so much for the comments...this will help me improve a lot on my next project! I agree that the pearls are clunky-- a last minute decision to cover up the seam in the back of the box.

critique group member: just awesome- your colors compliment each other nicely and your roses are very well done- I personally like how the leaves are seperate- gives it a nice appeal. I also love the brown box. I don't have anything else to add- great work

Critique Subgroup member: I love this cake! You did a great job on the shoe - I've only made one and the heel is the hardest part! I would like to see some tissue also and maybe a little color for the roses. But it is fantastic! :)

critique subgroup member: very pretty! i love the colors and the shoe is simply gorgeous! i agree about the wonky pearls, but they do go well with the roses. i love the 'fabric' rose technique! and i love your letters! is the board covered with fondant? it looks like it has some lines in it or wrinkles. beautiful cake! def a favorite!
