    This is a cake to be eaten not go in a museum. Before we post negative comments can we consider the efforts that went into this masterpiece. At least show support not ridicule. The Word tells us love your neighbour as yourself are we showing love here. This is indeed a beautiful creation, the one who made it has talent. Keep up the good work.

    It is so sad to see someone being vilified, just for a pic DNO posted.But wait,as if I have never seen so many comments for Photo of the Day before.Let us encourage each other when we try to do something good….The other person who does cakes,may or may not have sent a picture to DNO.It is not a competition to see/know who can or cannot do it better.Just someone who found pleasure in what they did and wanted to share….Grow up people,we can do better than that.

    Wow i hadn’t have a good laugh yet for the day but anonymous defended her self very well so i need not say more. As i commented previously some Dominicans love to praise foreigners and at the same time throw their Dominica people under the bus with criticism. For once give praise, encourage and don’t be too critical. When someone puts time and effort into something, unless u did the same and can show that u did better, shit the hell up and don’t belittle yourself with sarcasm. Well done anonymous, wish i could have a piece.

    Audie…Great work bro.

    I know it is difficult to read the criticism levied at you for such effort. Trust me 99% of us here would not even come close to creating something like that. So give yourself a pat on the back.

    This is the internet and people will say things to you that they would never dream of saying to your face. Don’t sweat the criticism. Just take it in stride.

    Good job!!

    Hats off to the cake maker! Wow very nice. Wondering if you could bake me a 100% dark chocolate cake in the iamge and likeness of my soon to be wife, the adorable Tri-State Beauty? No this is no hoax I’m real! I wish this could be done.

    I know a lady in Dominica, I would not call her name, makes a lot of nice designs too, all kinds. Anything you ask her she makes it.

    If she wants me to, I will mention her name, she is also popular.

    Here we go again, the cake police in operation. Why do we love to bring our people down. Can we not be proud for a change?

  18. September 18, 2013

    Why we love to bring our people. I can see what it is. It is a cake with the Dominica flag. Some people have too much time on their hands. Seriously. Well done Audie Warrington.

    Great stuff. Look forward to seeing more. If you can do better feel free to jump on the wagon

    Very nice but the horizontasl tri-clour band is upside-down. It should be yellow, black & white in that order. Also, the sisserou’s breast should be purple and not red.Finally, the stars should be evenly spaced. We must be careful with depicting our flag and get it absolutely right.

      It’s a freaking cake for crying out loud. When you can do better and post your perfect cake depicting the perfect flag then shall you be able to criticize. Some people have no skills, no talent but just sit back and await the moment to lambaste another persons work.

      GREAT WORK AUDIE WARRINGTON. I BAKEDECORATE CAKES BUT I’M NOT SURE I CAN PULL IT OFF LIKE YOU DID. IT’S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS FOR ALL WE KNOW IT COULD HAVE JUST BEEN A BIG FAT LIZARD SITTING ON A CAKE. BUT YOU WORKED YOUR MAGIC AND BROUGHT US A CAKE THAT REPRESENTS WHAT WE BELIEVE IN. I STILL HAVE HOPE THAT ONE DAY WE WILL ALL SEE THE GOOD IN WHAT OTHERS DO AND STOP LOOKING FOR THE FAULTS. :wink: :wink: :wink: :!: :!: :!:

        Thanks much Tainted, Your comments are very encouraging to me and many people who try in making an effort especially with something which is so close to our hearts. OUR NATIONAL FLAG and our lovely DOMINICA..I am and have been a professional Chef for almost 22 years, however let me stress. I AM NOT A CAKE MAKER NOR AM I A PASTRY CHEF…. I simply made and effort, and, nasty people who CAN’T DO any better makes such negative comments makes me sick!!!! Thanks again Tainted.

      “Malatete” – “Very nice – BUT” – There is always a “BUT” with you negative people. Can you show us your version of perfection? If you can’t say something positive, just shut up and get your “BUTT” out of the way. Did you ever thing of how much work it took to do this? I detect an attitude of jealousy. People like you make me sick….

        Thanks very much All Ears…You have hit the nail straight on the head.. Considering that I am not a pastry chef nor a cake maker, I am very proud of my work which took me many hours to complete. You are a star, a real honest person who appreciate an effort thanks again.

      Let me just tell you,Who ever you are, Making such ridiculous comments about the horizontal lines being done wrong on my cake is a lot of BULL!!! I have been Living in london for Thirty years(30) and its a Bloody shame that I know the colours and formation of our National flag better than you will ever know. JACKASS!!! It’s rather very obvious to me that you enjoy hearing your voice and reading poor spelling of your own words. It is also obvious to me that you do not know the formation of the colour BAND of our National Flag. Just for your information SHEAD, I Bought myself a proper national Flag in Dominica Last october and have followed the absolute formation of the flag. I would suggest therefore that you get off your fat,lazy,useless,pathetic Jealous, backside and find yourself a replica of our National flag before you make such comments.. To you and all the Absolutely Negative and useless people out there who does not know and appreciate when someone makes an effort,Why don’t the lot of you stick your heads where the sun never shines??? In addition, why don’t you get off your Fat and non-productive ARSE and make an effort just like I did???? FOOL…. JUST A BIT IF ADVICE TO YOU.THE NEXT TIME YOU WISH TO OPEN YOUR FILTHY MOUTH AND COMMENT ON THE DESIGN OF OUR NATIONAL FLAG ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERNET IN PARTICULAR, THERE IS AN OFFICIAL SAMPLE OF OUR FLAG AT THE TOP OF THE DOMINICA PAGE…

        Dear Sir/Madam,

        If after thirty years in England all you have learned is to come up with an baseless diatribe, I pity you.

        I do applaud Audie’s efforts but as a Dominican I also like to see the flag of my country properly presented. If others think that small-minded and petty they are, of course entitled to their opinion.
        As for a correct depiction of our flag, perhaps DNO will do us the favour of re-publishing their photo of 19 Oct., 2011, shown on the occasion of Flag Day.

      pity yourself mate,it’s a shame that Dominica’s website won’t allow my last two replies that I posted to you. I am not sure you do know the definition of the word DIATRIBE, because if you did you would have looked at yourself first before making comments about others. Like I said to you in my last couple of messages, Please take your useless, pathetic, jealous, empty head and stick it up your A..E Which it belong. And while you are at it, get a Life. You bloody fool.

      ADMIN: Your two replies were not accepted because they had expletives in them. Our disclaimer clearly states that comments with expletives will not be approved.
