  • Haven't checked the whole thread to see if it's been mentioned, but if you're looking for a confidence boost, there's a site called Cake Wrecks (can't post links as I'm a new user but if you search, you'll find it!) which shows pictures of the mistakes and disasters that professionals have made. Definitely good for the ego when you're struggling - when you see some of the truly ridiculous cakes that the pros are coming out with. Be careful though, some of them are (inadvertently I hope!) a little rude...

    Gotta agree with this, cake wrecks is the greatest place for full on belly laughs. It's given me a great lift when things aren't going well.

    As promised, the finished cake to match the topper.
