I don't think you could do anything better, it looks lovely.

The top tier might be ever so slightly wonky. But only by about a millimetre or so.

I love the colour of flowers on it, they are so summery.

Why do you think it needs improving?

I like the colours and I love the idea of 4 tiers.

The only thing we did differently was not to have the posts in-between tiers, but then you wouldn't have all the lovely decoration on top of each tier.

I think it looks lovely as it is.

OOh, i've just looked at it again and I know what it's missing.

A great big plastic bride and groom on the top!

No?????? Best leave it be then

Thanks for your help.

I kind of wondered if the top tier needed a bit more on it.. not quite a bride and groom (thanks though, dawnie?!?) but something...

maybe I could stack the flowers higher.

its turned out okay for an m&s cake..

well done!

I think it looks great, and I think you should just leave it as it is!

Hope mine turns out as nice of that!

I hope it does, cause a friend is making it!

..maybe just put one big flower or something in the middle of the top tier, just for a bit more definition and to say "this is the top tier!" I think it's gorgeous though.........

Just had another look.

Think it is my eyes that are wonky! Or the background behind the cake.

I do love the colour of the flowers. I wanted some like that but my mum complained because my hair is ginger and she said it wouldn't go. Tsk!

Well done that girl!
