    Really pretty; I would say just a bit more practice on the piping for consistency in coverage and location of frosting.

  2. Born-Independencej2t

    I work in baking as a career and she did so well! The cupcakes are all uniform and adorable!

  3. littleprairiehouse

    My first thought was… oooh how cute! I want to try to make those.

  4. tinymousebigdreams

    These are so cute! She did a great job!

  5. What are her concerns? They look really cute

  6. Xilorva

    she did an amazing job really bwcause this looks really amazing to be honest

  7. buffysmanycoats

    What in the world is she beating herself up over?! These are so cute and neatly decorated.

    They are sooo cute! I don’t have a sweet tooth, but these look wonderful and I’d stuff my face with them

  9. tinabelcher90

    Great job! I’d happily eat one (or more!)😂

    They are cute. Absolutely. She’s being too hard on herself. Imagine the look on a kid’s face when you hand them one of those.

    Damn they are better than the ones I ordered from a bakery for my goddaughter!!!

  12. Elvishgirl

    I love that idea!!!!!!! I would not execute as cutely

  13. sohcordohc

    They look great, they’re consistent, colorful, the bake looks good no complaints!

  14. MascaraHoarder

    oh those are adorable and so happy looking which we desperately right now imo. i love them.

  15. Primary_Literature_2

    So cute, what does she think is wrong with them? I can’t spot anything myself.

  16. RedPiIIPhilosophy

    I think this something that most artists of any kind do after making something that looks totally amazing but the artist being hyper critical of themselves.

  17. smithtownie

    They’re fantastic! Extra points if those are “special” gummies.

  18. Whole_Protection_290

    Great job! Cute an creative.

    As a baker, tell her to walk away for like an hour or overnight and then come back and look at them! Sometimes you’re genuinely just looking at something for too long lol these are adorable

    Woah lots of comments!! Thank you so much for the tips and compliments.

    I posted this because I had this idea that I would either get tips for her to improve, or lots of positive feedback, to be like “See?? Everyone online thinks its awesome”
    But as someone in the comments pointed out, the battle is in your head, against yourself, we’re too critical of our own work.

    I’ll see if she wants to read what you all have said and thanks again xx

    The blue shade is slightly wrong for the rainbows, but that may be because the rainbow colors are a bit dark and muted. If they were brighter colors, the blue would look better.

    Blue is not an easy color to work with. It’s human nature to find it unappetizing because in nature, almost nothing blue is edible. So it’s a challenging color.

    The frosting work looks terrific.

    What is wrong with them?? Genuinely, I can’t find one single “ flaw” except I can’t taste them. Mmm

  23. BeyondAddiction

    Another fishing for complements post eh? It’s really tiresome. Just share a picture of the cupcakes without the stupid mind games.

  24. Left-Doubt-8840

    I think they look great! Really pretty and uniform.

  25. FreshBlood4105

    Will be adding to my list to do for my nieces!!

  26. AppleSatyr

    As an artist I understand but these are so fucking cute

  27. asoiaf3

    They’re beautiful. She may have cupcake dysmorphic disorder.

  28. MamaMel8

    I think they’re quite cute and that’s a clever way to make a rainbow cupcake. My daughter loves rainbow everything and her bday is coming up so this is inspiring me 🙂

  29. IntrovertedGiraffe

    I’m jealous! I tried this once and it was a disaster. I wish this is what mine looked like!

  30. belckie

    They’re so much better than I could have done!

  31. BumblebeeCurdlesnoot

    These are gorgeous! Only thing I might suggest for next time is making the rainbow pieces longer like the one in the background on the left. I made similar ones for St Paddy’s

  32. TheFisher400

    Is your GF Martha Stewart? 🙃 those look lovely!

  33. ItsMahvel

    Colored cupcake cups would help IMO. Other than that, these are legit. Maybe she was unhappy with the cake itself?

  34. PickleOh

    I think the only constructive criticism I’d make is to use airheads brand sour strips which have more/thinner color bands that are ordered more like a traditional rainbow. What was in her control I think she did v well

  35. greenporchlight

    these are so cute!! looks like something you’d get from a bakery

    “I think they’re awesome! (Not even in a supportive way lol)”

    Reminds me of Michael Scott from The Office, “I would never say this to her face, but she’s a wonderful person and gifted artist.”
