Maybe i'm wrong...

Hi there! I just took a quick look at some of your work and you are quite good. You also have quite a few comments for several of your cakes and I just added one for a topper that I never saw before. As to “faves”, I personally only “fave” cakes or toppers that have an element or technique that I want to remember. I don’t know how other people decide to fave or not. Whether one gets to the top 3 or anything else prestigious I think depends on how many “faves” they have. I would say to try not to see this site as a contest, but rather a place for inspiration. Also, if you check out some of the most popular artists here, in most cases for the 1st 2 pages of their entries, they also received very few faves. Try not to be discouraged.

This site isn’t a contest like @The Garden Baker said. This is a site for sharing your work and connecting with others who share your passion for cake decorating. If you are only trying to be recognised as better then others, then maybe you are misunderstanding the purpose and idea behind this website.

Your work is nice and it will get recognised by others, but you also need to engage with others and like their work as well. It isn’t all about people liking you and your work. If you participate fully in the site you will be recognised by others.

Hope that helps – Happy caking.

Thank you for your response and thank you The Garden Baker to encouragement!
I don’t ,,trying to be recognised as better then others’’,but that receive favorable comments and see your work highlighted gives you joy, satisfaction and helps you trust that what you do,do well good.If this site was just to share our work, why there are top 3? So were all equal.I guess if you have not received the comments on your work you would have thought it’s not good what you’re doing and you will enjoy more when you receive comments or,, fave’’.
I just asked, thinking maybe something i wrong and do not see my work, because they have no more views.I apologize if I was misunderstood.
Good day!

To receive more comments and likes you need to engage with others – that is how you get your name and work recognised. This is a social site. When I log on in the morning there are pages and pages of new cakes – and it just isn’t possible to look at and like them all. But recognising a name will inspire me to look at their new work. I for one have looked at your work and posted comments. Spend time looking at, liking and commenting on others work and soon people will recognise you.

Hope that helps.

Thank you very much !

if I can give you some advice. If you spend any time on this site, you will notice many, many beautiful cakes that don’t make the top 3. And don’t even make top 15. Does that mean the cakes aren’t good enough? No it doesn’t. Many members, including me, don’t always have time to look at all the cakes, to like and fav. As MsGF and The Garden Baker said, enjoy the comments on your cakes and comment on others. Get inspired by other members work. Be proud of the cakes you have done. Don’t set the standard of your cakes by what others say or don’t say on this site or any other. As long as your happy with your cakes, and your recipient is pleased with the cake, then that’s what really counts.

Your cakes are beautiful! I use this site for inspiration, but I must admit, as a hobby baker, I too get discouraged because so many of the cakes posted here are far beyond anything I can attempt or have a need for. I often wish they had a “regular corner” – highlighting the hobby baker who does normal cakes that are a delight to share with the office or family on special occasions. Whatever your motivation, keep posting and enjoying these works of sugar art!

I am also a hobby baker. Don’t get many opportunities to make the lovely 3/4/5 tier wedding or special occasion cakes that get posted here. Just have to be satisfied with the size and type of cakes I am able to make.
There is a good quote. “Comparrison is the thief of Joy!

You do great modeling, sculpting figures! My suggestion is to use tags such as, 3d modeling, Hand sculpted, Figure. You can also use searches on similar work too, to give you an ideas as to keywords, tags, etc. If I’m looking for specifics, I always use searches for ideas etc. I also think with the holidays, we all get busy and don’t have a lot of time to look daily or even weekly. That’s why the weekly briefs email helps. If something catches my eye, I’ll click on it & take a look & browse on the tag words or keywords. Don’t get discouraged! Keep caking!

I agree with you @Torturicupasiune, a fave or comment is a positive thing even if you are a hobby decorator, as I am also. True, I use this site as inspiration for my cakes but out of hundreds of people on this site surely someone could give a fave. Personally I try to fave other people’s cakes that are good but have no faves as encouragement to them. I post on Pinterest and had many of my cakes pinned, so I tend to spend more time there. Encouragement , praise,and maybe some criticism helps to make you a better cake decorator.
