so girls, if you made a cake that you thought was WAY below average..... what would you do?

Still give it to them and charge them very little...........

Give it to them for free

Or still charge the agreed amount?

My ben10 cake is a piece of shit! I am so pissed off with it, I am on the brink of staying up all night to try again not sure if I've got enough fondant though.

awww andrea...I bet its not that bad....how can it be, your AMAZING! Let us see it

 

[taperjeangirl]

aw thanks Jac, but it is awful! My icing is all cracked and it looks squint.

May aswell show you though! I have decided I am going to give it to her for free, no time to do another one

And what is wrong with that missy huh? Yes ok it isnt as WOW as some you have made but bloody good all the same.Just charge the cost of ingredients at least.And stop being so hard on yourself x

ok so i was doing a practise cake today....why is it i can make great toppers...iv perfected roses and a few flowers, i can do models and shapes, i can bake a good cake...
but i simple CAN NOT but the fondant onto the flipping cake without it faling apart in the air...iv tryed rolling it thicker and it just goes bumpy, iv tried laying it over a rolling pin and it just falls apart off....what am i doing wrong???
The cake looks ridiculous coz the sides are all bumpy and in pieces coz i literally had to just stick and lump it on to cover them...the roses are good, the top is nice just the whole base is
This cake im doing for my OH, im not worried about all the intricate details...its the flipping base i fail at....what do i do????

i ended up chucking a ball of fondant at the wall half way through
im so irritated
any help? xxxx

I might go and get the bits to do another cake shortly, choc sponge with choc fudge filling, Ive got my new cutters so would like to ice it now. I need to cover the whole thing with green icing (ready made) can someone point me in direction a step by step guide, how to apply it and fondant etc.....a dummies guide would be best

 

[xxxjacxxx]

ohhh another question girls, you know cupcakes, the swirly stuff you put on the top with a bag/nozzle....what is that? Is it buttercream with colouring or what? I might do some cupcakes too but need to know what this is first

 

[x-Rainbow-x]

i think this one is quite good
