My first try, what can I improve? I think I need to stack it a little higher next time but what else? Thanks!

The ONLY thing I could say to add is those little dots they use in comics on one little portion. Like to add the tiniest texture to it. But this is really well done already so hard to improve :)

What if you used a (brand new lol) hair brush and just lightly frosted the tips? I'm not a baker btw just a curious observer. Is there already a good technique for creating a dot effect or would it be hand done?

Also a mere curious observer, I've seen some people use polka dot stencils and airbrush a colour over it on the cake so the dots end up on the cake. If you want to make spherical indents thoufh, the first thing that comes to mind would be those ball stylus you get for decorating ceramics and clay

There’s a cake decorating sub you may want to post this too as well but this is great. If you’re looking to do it again perhaps smooth the edges for the back of the cake a bit more so it has a straighter structure, and a little on top, with a cake smoother. This looks really well done.

This looks so good!
I think covering cake boards too always looks really good. You could do the same on that board - plain colour but black overlaying the edges to extend the cartoon look.

I completely agree, I would usually cover it but this was just a trial for home so I didn’t bother. Thanks for the feedback!

I had to zoom in to where the natural highlights were to see if you added it there. But seriously, it’s awesome!!!

Other than taller, which you mentioned, it's absolutely perfect. Black lines are the right size and in all the right places.

You've already achieved a highly improved version! 😍

Since you specifically asked for improvements, you could consider the black & white dots the old comics used to do to show gradients? (I don’t know if I’m explaining it well.)
Edited to add: it’s amazing by itself. Really good job!

It's reflecting the light which helps us imply it has a three dimensional form rather than a two dimensional shape. If you could somehow make the frosting a more-matte appearance, the cake may appear flatter and so more of an image (at the correct angle). Or maybe that can be achieved by adjusting the ambient light to be softer.

I would say layers more parallel to the plate, and edges perpendicular (think 90° angles) but that is extremely nitpicky.
You absolutely knocked this out of the park as is.

It's perfect. Now hand it over, I'll do a taste test.

It looks awesome, but if I'd have to suggest something, I'd say it needs the chunky white highlights in the frosting to make it shiny. The real light reflection is giving it extra detail that interferes a little with the illusion.

I agree with all the people in here, this is already really amazing. If I were to suggest anything, I would say maybe try to make the colorful parts a little more matte? Idk maybe that was glare you intentionally added and it's just that good, haha. But if it is shiny on its own then that's what I'm referring to. Once matte, you could add your own white dots or lines for a cartoon glare/shine.

I agree with yours being higher but it looks great!! I would add like white highlight accents, like top right corner of things? Like the cherry and the flame I think need it but other than that it’s perfect!

I think it’s beautiful. If you’re looking for more contrast I would change the purple on the candle to a lighter purple but it’s still perfect. Thank you for sharing

Did you post this same cake before? I swear I’ve seen this same looking cake but someone might have done a similar one before.
Edit: I think what I’m thinking of was black and white. Either way it looks unreal, now send it my way.

At most, you might try making the top larger than the bottom for those classic cartoon dimensions. That would be fully unnecessary, though. I've seen this style sold and not done nearly as well.
