My Attempt at a Cherry Blossom Tiered Cake

Several years ago I saw a cherry blossom wedding cake on the cover of a magazine while in line at the grocery store.  Since I couldn't afford to purchase the magazine, I tried to sketch it out before it was time to pay the cashier because it was the perfect thing for our annual Mother's Day/Birthday Celebration (Mother's Day, SIL birthday, Dad's birthday).

It looked something like the one from Diane's Cakes and More:

I ended up with something entirely different.

Obviously my sketch wasn't very good, and you can tell it's my first tiered cake.  While it's on my flickr set, I don't usually talk about it much because all I can see when I look at it are my mistakes.

That was until yesterday's Cake Wrecks post.

Now I don't think it looks so bad after all.
