We don't have a Memorial Day in Britain. We have a Rememberance Day, where we hold a minute silence while we watch the Queen and a group of soldiers from WW1 and 2. No picnics for us - we are a depressing bunch.

In closing, you have talent, but my British mind found the line "I made this in tribute of september 11" weird.

Thoughtless idiot... <sniff>

Hey, some people don't like being snubbed, artists among them. I can attest to the time and effort it takes to make these things: I have family members who have done similar stuff, and it wasn't trivial effort. I don't see where there was anything to debate here; he just wants to know what people think of his work, and your statement was a polite way of saying "what the heck is wrong with you, for doing something so weird? CAKE AND TRAGEDY DON'T MIX!" I guess we shouldn't toast to the dead at funerals either, since wine is delicious and pleasant, just like cake. Or not.

By the way, they look delicious, and I think my personal favorite is the '57 Chevvy, although the Star Destroyer comes pretty close, so no official vote from me.

Any thoughts from the British here?

Someone posted the following in my defense. Hopefully after reading this the idiot finally GETS why I was insulted.

Ouch.

In retrospect, I can see where I was wrong. Boy, I f**ked up.
I would like to try and say that I have always believed that all of your cakes are awesome. You are better at making them than I am at eating them. Being British, I especially LOVE the Mini car cake.

Re-reading what I said, I see I got the wrong end of the stick. When I read the words "in tribute", I thought you meant that every year you baked a cake with candles in and drank champagne. I can now see that was kinda stupid of me. I'm ashamed to say that, in my mind, cake brings up fluffy clip-art images. Call me an "immature asshat", but, because all the cake I eat comes vacuum-packed on supermarket shelves, I never came to appreciate the art of cake-making. Trust me, I do now.
I am literally shaking (really, I am) from the psychological blows from your friends on the other forum. Please accept my grovelling apology. I never meant what I said as an insult: all your cakes are great very well-made mindboggingly awesome, and I didn't know that you'd take what I said like that. I didn't see how I was being an asshole in your eyes.

Please celebrate your victory with your friends on the other forum (perhaps a cake shaped like you kicking my arse, perhaps?).
Unforunately, I shall not be eating cake for a while, I've now got a fridge full of humble pie.

Even if his point was dumb, he really didn't appear to want to offend you or anyone else, only present his confusion over the nature of the gesture. And posting a thread in here for people to fellate you for ~*~standing up for art~*~? Whuh?
