Critique group member: Wow! This is incredible!

Whoops I pressed enter instead of shift! :oops: Anyway, I really don't see anything wrong with it, infact I not sure why your entering as a beginner!

Critique Subgroup Member: Great cake! Your decorations are perfect. I love all the different combos. Drapes and bows are perfect. The figure's face is excellent, as is her hair. My perceived improvements: the stripes on the flag need to be perfectly straight and flush up against the star part and I think the board is too big. I think it brings the eye down instead of up where it should be. I love the white on white cutouts and your fondant is perfection! Excellent work here.

Critique Subgroup Member: One more small thing. I think the girl's hands need to be a little smaller, flatter and more defined. Maybe etch in some finger detail. Okay, that's it for me!

Critique subgroup member: Your fondant is so smooth! I love how the red & blue pop - love the stars along the bottom of the tiers. Your ribbon on the base appears to be wrinkly, though. Great job!

Critique Subgroup Member: This is one excellent cake. I agree with SuzieHazCakes on those three things. Other than that don't change anything!! Everything is so smooth and perfect. This is one great cake! Oh, I said that, to bad, I love it. If you can't change the board try adding some writing to it like "We the People". Good luck!

WOW -- that was the first thing that came to mind! Looks beautiful. Great work on the stars and he colors. The bows and the drapes are perfect. I agree about the board, but maybe you can add something to it insead of changing it. I also think you might consider adding something that looks like it's a "shooting star" look off the cake. Don't know exactly what that would look like, but it's just an idea. Good luck and wonderful job!

Critique Subgroup Member:hmmm, I don't think the hands need any improvement at all- she looks great. I can't really tell what the others were saying about the flag. If the stripes are crooked or uneven, then I would suggest changing it out since the rest of your cake is just astonishing. It's such a cool cake- I really love the whole design. My only suggestion would be to do something with the cake board. I have learned that the cake board in a competition can make or break your chances of winning. M...

Maybe add some larger stars to the bottom of the board in a zig zag pattern or something along those lines to make the board and the cake flow into each other. :)

critique group member.. WOW this is one fantastic cake. Everything is perfect in my opinion. My only suggestion would be a different board..something will a little more color
