Posted this on a sub I’m in and was told it doesn’t look appealing/ presentable/professional and the cupcakes have too much cream. Are they right? I really loved this set🥺

These were the comments that Got me;
******Unsolicited advice but work on your confectionery calligraphy. The one shown on the picture is terribly unremarkable then adding the misspelling.((*I wrote exactly what the client requested. The play on the word Move*))
We cannot tell the amazing taste of your product from the picture but if the presentation is this inattentive to detail, not much to be desired. Wishing you luck in your growing stage.*******
And
****Your cakes might taste nice but honestly they aren’t appealing to the eye. Especially that big one. The cream also seems too much for the queen cakes. Though, it’s a good start. More room for them being better aesthetically*****

Thats just unnecessarily nasty. It all looks amazing to me. Don’t be disheartened and keep making delicious looking cakes !

Looks delish to me!
Superb_Conference436
TBH from looking at that thread they are most likely just trying to bring you down and be hateful because they are in competition with you. They look very cute and tidy!

You won’t have these harsh comments even from the jury of the bake off !!! I don’t know how professional the person who wrote this comment is, but no matter how much good he/she is, I guess he/she could put it in a better way. It doesn’t even feel like constructive criticism to me !
Personally, I love your cake and your cupcakes. It certainly is not too much cream (at least that’s how I see it) and I love the choice of the colors.
sarcastic_monkies
Seriously? This is perfect! It’s all so pretty don’t listen to those people.

Whoever said that is an absolute gobshite. They look almost too perfect to eat. Almost…

Actually a really good set, good colour pallete and variety. DO NOT MIS READ THIS: of course if you had unlimited time and budget, you could make them more appealing and attractive, but we don’t live in fantasy land where you are doing 1 cupcake an hour and each peice is a small Mona Lisa.
The cake decor is very professional, your skill is evident in the smooth icing, and the very clean execution of the flowers. You’ve gotten the message across that you took care and effort in the preparation, and the design is repeatable and practicable, which is critical in selling the product at a price that is accessible
I can’t see any fly aways in the writing and the font is very nice, while also being legible.
I know many bakers that would be happy with this product in their shop as an option, the minimalism will be very appealing to certain customers
Apparently tiktok has been really helpful. If you haven’t got enough orders to fulfill a full day each day, spend the excess time doing 1 post a day on each platform. Jump on some trends or what’s popular overseas, and create your own version that’s unique to showcase your skill and variety. Ask your friends to share your work on there socials, and make an online ordering page to simplify the process eventually. There’s just a few ideas, hopefully it works well

they look beautiful! but isn’t it “mauve”? unless it’s a pun i didn’t get! just fyi 🙂

Op this looks INCREDIBLE
eat_with_your_fist
I’m still trying to work on my icing techniques and wish I could make roses as clean as yours.
Also, it doesn’t matter how good you are. There will always be some 30-year-old unsuccessful basement dweller living with their mom who thinks they can do better because they ‘have eaten a lot of cake’.
The most recent cupcakes I made didn’t look great, but people were obsessed with them and I was even asked if I’d be interested in catering a wedding two years from now lol. Do what you enjoy and do it well. Your work will speak for itself.

Op your cakes are beautiful and that icing to cupcake ratio is great. On the internet you can be anything you want, too bad so many choose to assholes
Ferracoasta
Imo i like how much icing. Not too much or little n well piped. The cake looks more amateur than professional but still not bad
Comfortably_Sad6691
I wanna mauve all those down my gullet! Seriously though nice job on the coloring! What flavor is the frosting??? 💜🧁💜
nejnonein
I hate rockhard round sprinkles and even I want to eat this entire box by myself
FrogOnA_Log
These are absolutely gorgeous!
Ihatemunchies
Those look absolutely beautiful if that was a woman who told you that we need to be lifting each other up instead of putting each other down. You keep baking. You’re doing a wonderful job.
moonmoonmom84
OMG they are beautiful, and look simple in a positive way (not overdone with a Bunch of swirls/colors/decorations…) They look clean and appealing, and the white color is absolutely stunning
ChronicSassyRedhead
Wait what? We’re they high? Or blind? Cause these look awesome and delicious and now I want cake 🤤
bassoonmonkey182
Looks Yummy and professional
sarcasmsmarcasm
They are wrong. Ignore those people. These are a masterpiece.
Charming-Kiwi-6304
They look great to me. Plus purple is my favorite color so they are extra amazing!
auditorygraffiti
These cakes are beautiful! Your writing looks great, too. It’s definitely not too much icing. I think this is a good amount. (Though as an icing lover, I’d be thrilled if there was even more!) The colors are gorgeous- I love how saturated the purple is. The gold sprinkles are a nice touch too.
I don’t love the trend of the rough edge of icing on cakes but that’s my personal taste. I’m only telling you that because I want to also say that yours is really well done and I can easily tell it was done by someone with talent. It’s not even something to critique because it’s well done.
GooseEasy7709
Those look yummy, that persons head needs checked! Clearly jealous.
Infamous_Watch_4637
That’s crazy people would say that. I clicked on the picture and thought your baking looked so beautiful and professional!!!
Gullible-Leaf
You had posted on a generic sub and not a baking one. I don’t think they knew what a bento box is supposed to be like. Don’t take that nonsense to heart. You’re clearly good at what you do. Additionally, the colours and design look so beautiful. I saw your other bento boxes as well and they were all quite beautiful. Your writing is also quite neat and pretty.
I’ll give you one suggestion which has nothing to do with what we’re talking about. When asking the customer what they want written on the cake, give them a piece of paper with the shape of the cake drawn. Ask them to write it there. Then you can be sure about the spelling part. And if the customer is very specific they can also show positioning of writing.
Just to clarify – I’m not saying you’ve written it wrong. I’m suggesting what you can do so that you have peace of mind and don’t have to worry in the future.
You’ve done a fantastic job. Be proud!

Anyone saying negative comments are just jelly!
MissTechnical
I would 100% eat those!
RSDevotion
This looks incredible and there can never be too much buttercream
Nohlrabi
This is such a pretty color combo, and beautifully done. Colors are so light and refreshing!
Also my general complaint about cupcakes is “the frosting is so scanty! Crust is showing! The edges are uncovered! It’s gonna be dry!”
But not yours! You have excellent frosting-to-cake ratio and no dry edges! I would have 2 w coffee for breakfast!!
And remember: You can’t please everyone. So please yourself. And of course, your customer!
Sinnes-loeschen
Some people post ridiculously sloppy baked goods whilst charging absurd prices – this looks neat and presentable. Cream doesn’t seem excessive either
Swallowthistubesteak
There will always be outspoken haters here who probably can’t even boil water
HuggyMummy
100000000% disagree with the commenters form your other posts. The colors on these cakes are amazing! Your white is *so* white. Love the border on the main cake and how clean it all is. I’d be totally stoked if I ordered something like this from a bakery and this is what was delivered. Look at it! Great freakin job, please don’t let those people get you down. You’re doing fantastic, sincerely. I can’t wait to see more of your bakes on here. Good luck, though by the look of your work you definitely don’t need it.
majxover
These cakes are beautiful. Any sane person can see you put in the time to make it look this way and would still buy it.
Also, does that one person not know that handwriting is different from person to person? I mean once you get the hang of the lettering, what’s the difference in utility as opposed to a pencil?
Please ignore the trolls.
Dolphin-on-e
I’m not even a fan of frosting and I’d still eat those cupcakes as is. Everything looks incredible, so I’m assuming whoever told you all that is jealous that they can’t make a set this cute
RealisticBusiness109
Well done! There will always be people who will try to tear you down (online and offline). Your cake and cupcakes look great! Continue doing you and ignore the negative comments.
redheadedbull03
They are incorrect. I love it and did before even reading why you posted it. This is beautiful and looks delicious!
Missmagentamel
Cupcakes look great! The cake looks unfinished, though
Nurse_Hatchet
The cake is perfection and the cupcakes are iced just the way I prefer as well. I like that the frosting goes to the edges without being a big pile of sugar. I never understood the trend of making a giant, coiled poo of too-much-frosting-to-eat!
cuddlemama
Looks amazing to me!
zongiewongie
If my cakes looked like this I’d never shut up about it 🥹
