This is going to be tough to critique - I really can't see much wrong with it at all!

The cake texture looks really, really good. The only thing I'd nitpick a little at is the crumb size. Maybe working it over a little more, or making smaller circles into the clay would result in a smaller crumb. That's just really preference, though, since it looks good as is.

I can't tell if it's a reflection or not, but it appears that the clay seems a little dirty on the wings. I know light colored clays and white clay are pretty impossible to keep clean, but there are ways to minimize the transfer of color. Keep a box of hand wipes near by (baby wipes work fine) or just make sure to thoroughly wash your hands before working on a lighter color. I also have a tutorial here that shows how to clean up clay before it's been baked: [link]

Now for the plates: there's a bit of lint in some places and the edges look a bit rough. Try sanding them down a bit once they're baked to make them a bit more even. Also the plate with the cake slice on it looks a little large, but that might just be me. It looks like it'd be the same size as the plate holding the cake. Maybe make one that's just a bit smaller for future ones, so it looks like an actual size plate instead of something the size of a platter or large plate...if that makes sense.

All in all, I really like this piece. The texture and the color of the cake itself are spot on. The decorations look great and the clay seems pretty free of fingerprints.

I hope this helped!

No problem!

If you can, you should invest in some little ceramic plates you can buy from eBay. I tried making clay ones before, but the ceramic ones are just better (for me anyways). Plus it helps you keep to scale since they're mostly 1:12. c:
