Cake on Cake Central

I made this for my wife. Chocolate icing, chocolate cake and chocolate ganache filling. Small leaves under the top border. The icing was not as smooth as I'd like it, and I my grapes sorta sucked (wrong angle on the bag). I realized this too late. I've only been at this for about a month, so Im learning. Any helpful hints are appreciated. I wanted to cover the cake board, but I was assured that it would not last long enough to go to the trouble.

It looks great! I wish I could get my shells that even and uniform. I also think the grapes are nice. The only suggestion I would make is after the frosting sets a little you can gently push down on the grape dots and that will get rid of the little point.

i think it looks great and yummy too! i agree w/ crp7 about pushing down the dots on the grapes. I dip my finger in a little bit of corn starch or powdered sugar so my finger doesn't stick.

Nah, they are all taken...besides..they cant even make cake. Sure, they can fly an jumbo jets for a living..but can they make frosting?

Only at for a month??? I've been doing cakes for 15+ years and just recently found how to get it as smooth as yours is. Great job and I agree that it wouldn't last long around my house.
