I'm excited to start up my own small business, but I have been a little tentative only because of my own insecurities. So, do you guys *honestly* think that this cake looks professional? Can I do this?

It certainly does. It's so cute. Go for it!

Thanks for the votes! The reason I did a poll because I felt people could be more honest anonymously and so far, so good. I'm feeling a lot better!

Looks good to me! Good luck with your business!

Very nice.

Nice job!! Good luck!

Yes, Yes, Yes

That's a great looking cake. Pat yourself on the back, a job well done.

Your cake is awesome! Very professional!

I've seen cakes that were suppose to be done by professionals (particularly my daughter's Baptism cake last Nov., my other two children's Communion cake this May, and my hubby's Goddaughter's Baptism cake this past June) and none of them were even half as nice as yours. (Wish I could post the photos to show you. If I had the time I should have made them myself!) Anyway, I say "Go for it!"

You know, I've been told I am my worst critic.. My husband tells me all the time.. You need your own bakery.. I'm thinking, Really? Do people see me as to be that good? WOW..
So with that, your cake is just that, THAT GOOD!!!!! Good Luck to you and your Business... P.S. dont forget us little people when your bakery goes WILD!!!!!!

It would look a lot more professional if it was an Ohio State cake!!!!!!!!!!!

(But seriously, I voted yes)

First thing I said when I saw it was "Wow!" It's great!

Great Cake!! Go for it!!!!!!!!

Very cool cake! How did you do the helment and face mask? Awesome job!

Absolutely. You did a great job.

You go girl!!!

Thanks so much for your replies. I feel much more confident hearing from you guys because everyone on here knows their cakes! Even though someone voted 'no' I won't let it get to me. I asked for honesty and that's one person's honest opinion. Thanks again! I'm off to research cake ideas for my 1st real business order!

I still can't close my mouth. I don't know what I was expecting but I certainly wasn't expecting that. WOW!

It's always the good ones that are insecure. The bad ones boast as if they are the universe.

Party on dude! You certainly have got what it takes. Very imaginative!

I voted yes!!! Great Job!!!!!!!

Great job! did you use the ball pan for the helmet? I love it!

I've very shocked that someone would have voted no on that cake.

I think you did a great job. It's nicer then some of the cakes I've seen from "professional" bakers.

I voted yes. It looks great.

Love your cake. It is definitely professional!

absolutly love your cake it looks great to me

Hi Ishi, have you taken any classes? Your cakes are BEAUTIFUL. If you haven't maybe you should try the Wilton 3 course classes (not that you really need to), only because it helps build confidence. I always wanted to be a cake decorator but thought "My cakes are never going to be perfect or good enough" And with those insecurities I could never charge people for cakes. BUT THEN i took the classes and I am very confident in myself. And your cake is DEFINITELY Professional Quality. I agree. Go for it! you obviously have talent.

I really appreciate all the support I've gotten from my fellow cake-makers on this site! I feel much more confident now and I better get ready because I already have 5 cake orders for this month! Wish me luck! I think I'm ready for this!!!
