50th Wedding Anniversary Cake

So far. I hate it. Really, really hate it. Instead of normal, boring piping painted gold, I thought I'd try a lace effect. Above is how it looked before I painted it gold. Wish I hadn't bothered now. I had to put something on the top to hide where the sugarpaste joins from the sides to the top. And because I'd done the bottom with the border, putting piping along the top wouldn't have looked right.




I'm invited to the function that it's for.... my mother-in-law's best friend's Golden Wedding Anniversary party.

Originally, they ordered it (and I would have earned well from it), but then I decided to tell them it would be my gift to them.

I really, really wanted this to be a "Wow" cake. The caterer they're having also did my dad's wedding a couple of years ago. Well, when I asked him what he thought of the cake(http://patacake-parties.blogspot.com/2005/10/with-hand-made-arum-lilies-eucalyptus.html) he was so rude, he had me in tears. He said "It's Ok... but it's not up to a professional standard". My arse it wasn't. That cake was gorgeous. Absolutely nothing wrong with it whatsoever. It might not be to everyone's taste, but there was no reason why it wasn't of a professional standard. B****rd was probably just pi$$ed off because he didn't get his cake person to make it, and he didn't get to put a few quid on top for himself! I only asked because, at the time, I was so insecure about my work that I thought I might get a few words of encouragement.




*sigh*




I don't know what I'm going to do. I'll just have to finish it and then see how I feel then. But right now, I couldn't feel any more depressed.
