well my lil' bro turned 30 today so I made him a poker cake.
he loves playing poker.
well i was short on supplies and time so I had to wing it.
didn't turn out half bad.
i'm sooo not good at cakes..but i try..lol
i printed out and laminated the cards...taped to toothpicks.
the frosting is vanilla tinted green..that's what color the felt is on his poker table.
then i mixed melted chocolate in the vanilla frosting for the sides..then piped it around the edges. The poker chips were drawn on with icing..and the white lines around the chips are white sprinkles..lol
he loved it..of course i'm way to critical..lol..i stink at lettering..haha
we eat it tonight at my mom's after dinner..

That is wonderful CF. And your lettering is fine - I don't think I've ever done any - not steady enough

C-F, this is really touching, to go to so much trouble to make a perfect decoration for him! And I agree with Mags, there is no problem with your letters, they are just fine! You should be proud of yourself and say you have developed your own style!
