Everyone has talents. I wouldnt compare myself to others here in so many areas. It would be a boring community if we were all the same.

Hogwash! I'm sure that's not what Sundae meant. Post away, Ali. I love seeing your creations.

Lola has it right.

I adore seeing your creations and had I suggested to the staffroom that I wasn't going to bake for them anymore because someone somewhere did it better I'd have got a well-deserved slap.

Cake too...

Aliantha · 07-18-2014, 04:54 AM

Personally, I don't like that cake at all, but I guess someone must have liked it.

eta: and to be honest, I think all the value is in the parts you can't eat. There are a lot of flaws in the actual icing of the cake, although perhaps they aren't considered flaws in that part of the world, but the fondant is not completely smooth. The lines of dots are not straight, nor are the dots uniform in size. The indents for the quilting effect are uneven depths also, and that's all just at a glance and not seeing the whole cake.

Well of course i know that. No one would ever be ashamed of something they create no matter what it is. If you start from nothing or a pile of raw ingredients and end up with something that makes people smile, that's all that really matters I think.

For instance, today i gave the electrician who came to do a small job for me, some strawberry cheesecake cupcakes I had made earlier. To me they were imperfect and i could see all the bits I didn't like. All he saw was yummy stuff he wanted to put in his stomach as quickly as possible. We are all our greatest critics. We should all try and see the good stuff more in everything we do. The world would be a better place.

I agree, it's not a pretty cake, just a backdrop to hang a ton of expensive jewelry. However the adding a piece of jewelry into the design could be cool if done right.
Say a cake that looks like a hand with a real engagement ring. A cake that looks like a pet, with a necklace or bracelet around the neck or as a leash... unique jewelry presentations.

That's cool, HM, bachelors savior.

Aliantha · 07-18-2014, 10:12 PM

Hmmm...that's a really interesting concept. When I get myself a frother, I might try my cake batter mix prepared that way. Might be ideal to have in the fridge for rush orders. Of course, I might turn out terribly too. haha

Damn, I like that idea. While I enjoyed watching him dance, I would've like to see the cake and watch him eat it. I would buy it. It's a great idea for when you've got a craving and all you want is a small slice of sweetness.

I did this cake today for a girls 17th birthday.
