    a rose by any other name......might not taste as good as those.......:hilarious:

    But....

    As for the stand and composition.....
    it looks like a plastic mold
    I don't find the green, brown & pink work well together
    and the hard edges of the stand don't go well with the soft edges and smooth swirls of the cake and roses.

    Ya ya, I know......I'm a meany....but I see what I see !:meh::meh:

    thank you all for the kind comments and critiques : )
    maybe I'm just a bit prejudiced but I think the cake would look luscious on a plain paper plate. I do like the juxtaposition of soft and hard lines; but agree that opaque glass can sometimes look a bit plastic in photos.

    the top of the stand has a floral petal motif in the center:

    It makes perfect sense to me that someone with such a gorgeous collection of cake plates/stands would also make absolutely gorgeous cakes to put on top of them!!!:hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::):):):smug::smug::smug::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Obviously you are not a gardener or you would see that color combination everyday when you looked at the natural world.

    @TallCakes
    What amazes me is that it is perfectly centered as well. within the little squares.

    if the green was darker, & the brown a little lighter...I might agree with you.
    But I don't.
