As promised, here are photos of my Threadcakes contest entry, complete with the redone design on top.

Many thanks to racerxmachina for alerting me to the contest!

I chose a design called "Sees the Day":



Sees the Cake!


I'm very pleased with the details that came out. Can you spot the monkeys, snake, and bird in the tree?


I love my radiant gradient, made without airbrushing!


I knew the cake wouldn't be enough to feed my co-workers, so I whipped up a batch of cupcakes and decorated them to match the theme.
