I am SOOOOO nervous about this. Im delivering at 1.30pm. I won't be able to relax until its there in one peice, and they say it tasted good.

What do you all think? I know my smoothing and icing on squares needs to be worked on, the top tier was a pain in the butt. Does Pooh even look like Pooh? He was supposed to be more like the classic Pooh.

AHHHH Im so nervous!!!!

Maybe if you add a border to the top edge will hide some of the problems you had with the top tier I think the cake is great!!! very nice cute!!! I have to make a shower cake for next weekend for a friend and I still don't know what I will be doing icon_sad.gif

yes, knew it was poo

as for a top border -- if it weren't for the fact of how long it would take to make -- a whole ton of those bumble bees all the way lookiing at poo.

other than that -- got more of those flowers?

or match with the icing pearls?

it's so cute!

Pooh looks just fine as does the rest of your cake! Very nice job! I am with with Doug and Icingandsprinkles in thinking you need to add a border on the top. The flowers would look really nice if you have extra ones.

Doug.........I LOVE that bumblebee border idea! I can just picture it so clearly and it is/would be adorable! icon_biggrin.gif

The cake looks fabulous!!! I think you did a fantastic job. I also agree with the others maybe just add a quick border to the top. If you don't have more flowers than maybe a dainty pearl border? Just a suggestions. Good luck..and relax it is POOH-rific just POOH-fect!!! icon_biggrin.gif

He sure does look like the classic pooh! I think you did great on this cake and you should feel proud. There is a lot I like about it, but my favorites are...of course pooh, I love the bees(too cute) and the little flower boarder you have on the bottom! GREAT JOB! Jen

That cake is adorable! Turn it over to your customer with pride in a job well done. Believe me, we are our own worst critics. The customer is not discussing whether he thinks your icing is smooth enough, they'll be too busy talking about that adorable Pooh!

If you want to add to it, that's fine, but the cake is great as it is.

great job. I agree with Doug about adding a border of some kind to the top. The bees would be awesome, but you may not have time for that.

Maybe a bead border on top would help.
Either way it looks great.

The cake is adorable...I love the flower border. Honestly, I would have put a border on the top tier regardless of any problems since I think it would look more balanced. I am saving this to my favorites ~ great job!
