I'm scooting over here from CocoCupcakes (from your comment there) and think your work is pretty stunning overall.<br /><br />The other cakes are pretty pretty amazing too, I especially loved the one with the rice paper flowers set upon it.

People take an activity that started out as fun and turn it into a life-or-death, winner take all, out for blood mentality. I hate that!<br /><br />I am sorry you were treated poorly, you did not deserve that, nobody does. Sometimes I wish people would just get over themselves!<br /><br />I am glad to hear you are feeling better.Grandma Tillies Bakeryhttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Grandma-Tillies-Bakery/221658317879523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908286418692874217.post-22950975222784122232012-03-25T15:08:25.630-07:002012-03-25T15:08:25.630-07:00If there was a problem with your cake, then it sho...If there was a problem with your cake, then it should have been communicated directly to you before the cake was displayed. That's how mature people deal with problems. <br /><br />The kind of behavior your seeing is what happens when anyone thinks their little cake show or dog show or ballroom competition makes them important. Have you ever seen the movie <i>Strictly Ballroom</i> or <i>Best in Show</i>? That's exactly the mentality you're dealing with here. You're interacting with the <i>Toddlers and Tiaras</i> of cake people. I'm sorry you have to deal with it.<br /><br />I'm not in love with that particular cake you submitted, but then I like really traditional frosting and not all the fondant and gum paste. However, I can appreciate it for the fun style of cake that it is.<br /><br />I hope the person apologizes to you directly. It's perfectly fine that they didn't like your cake. It's not okay to express that opinion in such a mean spirited way.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673504414621479277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908286418692874217.post-12912809820532801262012-03-25T12:11:49.499-07:002012-03-25T12:11:49.499-07:00Of course I think you're up to scratch!

You did your best in the circumstances. It's right a to draw a line under this episode and learn - but did the lady know what you'd just been through?Annnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908286418692874217.post-33277423418851177282012-03-25T11:17:47.977-07:002012-03-25T11:17:47.977-07:00Good Post!
