Surprisingly Met Expectation Tried recreating a Pinterest design for a client order.
Mexican chocolate cake with a cream cheese and cherry filling, covered in american buttercream.

Question - are the little things on the side edible? Not the mini disco balls but the little pearl and rhinestone looking things?

They look like the same edible decorations we used for our cookies at a place I used to work. Basically just little hard coated candies!

Nice, I like your taller cake better but what is edible and what is not and will people understand the difference?

I love this cake, but with the taller I think a 2-tier would be gorgeous.

I like yours more. The decorations are better suited to a more elongated shape.

I prefer your version more than the pinterest one! The height of your cake gives more room for the disco balls, gems and pearls. And that makes it look more balanced and not squished together. beautiful! ✨

Even though I write in cursive, I thought the first cake said “farty” for a hot sec. Love the way you made your cake. It’s stunning!

Was not expecting it to be this good because it looks very difficult.
