Thank you for your great help.I would never be able to figure this out.
You guys are great as always.

I thought the first one looked incredible, and the second one, yes, I can see that it improved with moving the eye. But I hope you don't charge less than you originally agreed on. That cake is worth every penny you were going to charge!!!!!!!!!!!

I may not know much about decorating cakes but I do know about horses and what they look like and I think with the changes you made, this is one beautiful cake. Moving the eye did the trick! You should be VERY proud of yourself!!!

I thought the first one was just lovely. And it's certainly something I wouldn't have even attempted. But the second one is fab! I bet you regret only charging her $28 now!!!!!!

boy did that make a difference! Such a small thing but it makes it so much better. See, you didn't do a bad job in the first one. You just did a couple minor things a little off, that's all. Great job thumbs_up.gif

You did a great job. The eye move was the perfect fix. It isn't that the horses head is too big, it's because his head is turned and you see so much neck this way. By putting in the head and jaw line you can distiguish the two. I'm sure your customer will love it!

Great job. Don't you just love CC. The first cake was great, but after a few suggestions and changes I think it looks even better. Great work. I think you should have charged more. You did a wonderful job.

OMG! That is gorgeous! I loved the one before but, that small detail made all the difference in how you view the horse! Horraaay!!!

How did your client like it?? We are all dying to know!
And do you like it better now?? That's most important!

I think it looked good before and it looks great now! You gotta be a little easier on yourself. There is only so much one can do with cake, icing, rice krispie treats fondant etc. etc. It's not like you're working with pottery or clay or something that you can just touch it and mold it into something icon_wink.gif Go easier on yourself! I'm sure the little girl and her friends are going to love it and I'm sure her mom is going to be more then happy and willing to pay the ORIGINAL quoted price.

OMG it came out just perfect! I am so glad you stuck with it rather than giving up on the little guy. He was almost there but he just needed a little tweak and you did it. Excellent cake - I'm with the other posters, he's worth every penny.

Well, my fellow CCr's.
I just had it delivered.And the little girl's reaction was:OMG,mom it's a horse!!!!
Then she starts jumping all over the place from the excitment.Then her mom proceeds to call all of the family outside to see the horse.Everybody was just like hipnotized.
Boy, watta good feeling.The minute I saw little girls reaction,I didn't really care what everybody else's reaction would be.I made happy the person that counts.
I can't thank you enough guys for this accomplishment.If I didn't do this improvment,I don't think I would be able to bring myself to deliver it the way it was.
Also a few people took my ph#.YAY!!!!!!!
Thank you,Thank you,Thank you.
