    Honest opinion on my cake please

    Chaps i have just iced my 1st cake after the baking yesterday,its the other halfs birthday on saturday and we are having a bbq,so i thought i would make her a cake in the style (loose term) of one of her interests,i will let you decide whether it should be consigned to the bin as the work of a retarded 5 year old,or will it be recognised for what it is supposed to be??,for the food lovers its a victoria sponge with a dark cherry filling and a combintion of coffee,chocolate and vanilla icing.Your honest thoughts please.

    Looks pretty good, even the pro's ones look a little like a caricature of the real thing,

    I recognize the crown guard, but honestly, otherwise, it really doesn't look much like a Panerai...

    If my other half (i'm female) did that for me, I'd be so, so impressed. Its not absolutely perfect but thats not the point, it doesn't matter, it's wonderful.. Really...

    Well Done,

    Do not throw it. She'll be really happy with it. She'll really appreciate the thought and effort you put into that. Whatever its meant to be. :blackeye:

    I think it's very well done. Wives love stuff like that. As an aside, not being a Brit, I looked up Mountstevens and found out they have gone bust.

    I think it's a novel and excellent idea. A friend of my wife once made me a cake in the shape of a breast, with a cherry on top.

    Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

    I had a similar idea,but the thought of unveiling a large phallic shape sponge cake in front of family didnt appeal :D
