Ode to Scrapbooking Supplies

How do I love thee, let me count the ways....
I just used my sanding block and a brad to finish a Bridal shower cake. hahaha.
I was happy with it, now I'm a mess. Is it smooth enough? Is it fancy enough? Is it what she wants? Is it the right colors? And to think that I was contemplating pursuing this more. I don't know if I can. To make a cake for me is fine, but to make one for someone else makes me a nervous wreck.
I need honest feedback. I don't want to think I'm good enough to go into business if I'm really not. "I would wait until you've had a little more practice" is preferred over "you suck." Thanks.

I think it's very cool. Perfect because you've got brown (for boy) and pink (for girl) and it looks like presents (for shower). You got it covered!!! All I can say is Shake and Bake Baby!!!

You used a sanding block on your cake?! I loved your Daddy's comment, he seems very proud of you. Makes me smile. The cake is beautiful and you should persue it, someday. Right now you need to finish your house so you can have a super duper kitchen.
