I prefer to put the color tier that will stand out more on the bottom, that way the cake seem more appealing to the eye. On this cake, I would have put the yellow tier on the bottom and the white tier on the top.

This is one of our under the sea cakes. It is sometime fun to make when the customer just gives you a theme. At other times, we need to follow a color pallette or drawing instructions.
For this cake I do I do see some 3D elements, yet there could be more. The sea weed could be higher and the color could be mixed better instead of just being striped. The coral could have had thicker lines to make it look more realistic and those fish a child could have drawn. Just by adding a little more detail can make a world of difference in your cakes! Also, if they chose a darker color bow for the topper it would have pulled this cake together better.

This seems to be a simple cake to do, but I am wondering where the white is at on the topper. I feel that if this cake had white squiggles instead of tan ones for the topper this cake would have popped more.

This cake has a few issues. First, I will mention the black and white things, what are they exactly and why are they there? They don’t seem to blend with the cake, so why not just leave them off. Next, I will mention the combination painting and airbrushing on the butterflies and the leaves.  I’m all for both, however if the leaves and butterflies have lines they should both either have painted lines or airbrush lines. Finally, the spots of icing that are not smooth. By doing this the decorator just made the cake look like it had areas of mess ups, either ice the cake smooth or leave it choppy.
