Oh, and to get back on topic, I'm DVRing the villains cake special tonight. Can't wait! Disney villains + cake = :D

Thanks allot Aaron :D . I'm glad you like it!!! Every few weeks I’ll focus on another Villain, with their animated form in my avatar and their theme park character in my sig. The picture is not from "Dream along with Mickey" it's from "Villains Mix & Mingle", the castle stage show preformed at MNSSHP. I'm glad you like it. Although I saw the show live last September, I found the photo online. It's a beautiful photo and was my desktop wallpaper for awhile. If you'd like I’ll send you the pic in a PM.

Sorry for the off-topicness, now to the Cake Competition.....

It was a dream come true for me to watch. The Villains rarely get their fair share of publicity so I was very happy to see them on Food Network. I loved the show and those competitors are artists, each person created such a unique cake that was outstanding on its own.

WARNING: Spoilers Below....

Cruella De Vil Cake: This was the most artistic. I loved the how it reflected the original film with its sketchy backgrounds. I also liked the idea of Cruella taking the puppies on a chaotic walk. This was my second favorite cake. 4 Stars.

Ursula Cake: Wow could this lady sculpt. She was sawing away at that cake, but the results were great. I loved how she had the crystal ball with Ariel. I agree with the judges, the colors were too dark and it did look better in white. It was still a great cake. 4 Stars.

Scar Cake: A great attempt but their was no wow factor. It was just a full body cake of scar. I liked how he used the licorice for the mane, but he was more obsessed with making the arm function. 3 Stars.

Jafar Cake: It was a fine attempt. You could so tell that this was her first competion. At least she could use it as a learning experience. The biggest problem in this case was time management. She could have created a masterpiece if she just managed her time correctly. 3 Stars.

Captain Hook Cake: A work of Art!! It was perfect in every way. The characters were so on model and it came off flawless. It truly deserved to win. 5 Stars.

I caught the Villian Cake Challenge last night. I thought that they all did a great job and the Captain Hook cake deserved to win. My favorite cake design, however, was the Cruella De Vil cake. It was really artistic.

I felt bad for the guy who made the Scar cake. I would've been mad too if my cake fell apart like that.

The Jafar cake was okay, but it could've used more work. The Ursula cake was very artistic and colorful, but the tentacles could've used more work.

I think it's pretty much agreed that Hook had the best cake and Scar had the worst.

As for the Cruella cake, I didn't really care for it. I thought it got way too much credit for the background. The villainess was supposed to be the central part of the cake, but she looked the worst (with the puppies and background making up for it).

And I didn't quite understand why they were making a big deal about Ursula being a little darker than usual. Have they seen what the Disney studios puts out of her? Only 10% of the time do they get it right. If they're not messing up her skin, it would be her eyeshadow, her beauty mark, her earrings, the varying number of tentacles, etc. The only thing I didn't like about the cake was how weird Flotsam and Jetsam looked. Still, I liked the mystical look she gave it.

I kind of felt sorry for the guy who made Scar, because of his wife's pregnancy and all.

I thought this was a fun idea and the show was nice but I wish more villains were done. But my opinions on the cake

Captian Hook- I really loved the cake. It looked real and it just was so good. It gave me the urge to go and watch Peter Pan and I did. Hook was the best.(Also did anyone else think the one judge kind of overdid it with the ''making pirate jokes bit" I mean seriously I was getting annoyed with it let the guy and the audience have their fun.)

Ursula- The cake was good and I thought the face turned well. I also love how she got Flotsam, Jetsam, the crystal ball with Ariel and the contract Ariel signed in the cake. The coloring was fine I thought. The only thing that dissapointed me were the tentecals.

Cruella- I thought the background and dalmatians were fine but I didn't like the way Cruella herself came out. She just looked strange and I think Ursula deserved 2nd place and Cruella 3rd place.

Scar- I thought Scar looked ok (but I didn't like the licorice mane) but I think he could have been more creative and made a background and not just a Scar cake. But I liked it.

Jafar- I give the girl props but I didn't like the way Jafar turned out. He looked strange. If they gave her more time the cake would have turned out alot better.

I DVR'ed this lst night, and I must say that I was really impressed! All the cakes were good, with some being more good than others.

The Captain Hook cake really did deserve to win, it was nearly flawless. However, the Ursula cake was my favorite, something about it just appealed to me.

The Cruella cake was cool, but I think he should have focused more on Cruella herself, rather than the background and puppies.

But, I think all the problems and worries that all five contestants had could have been fixed very simply......if there was a Maleficent cake.

Agreed! You and I are Maleficent lovers `til the end. Perhaps someday we'll see a second installment of the Disney Villain Cake Competition featuring Maleficent, Lady Tremaine, The Queen of Hearts, Governor Radcliffe, and Prince John and Sir Hiss!

This was a great special. The Captain Hook cake was absolutely incredible and totally deserving of the win. Just wow!

My second favorite was the Cruella cake. Everything about it was excellent except Cruella's face, which was undetailed and off-model. That and the fact that she was so small in comparison to all the others really hurt him. This was a villains cake competition, after all, not a background art competition, and I think he neglected to pay enough attention to Cruella herself.

My third favorite was Ursula. The colors were off, but I thought they stressed that fact too much. As Disney's Divinity said, that happens all the time, so who can blame her? Besides, she wasn't <i>that</i> off and who's to say that Ursula wasn't in the shadows in her scene? :P My biggest problem with her was actually the sculpting and molding... it was looking incredible for a while but I thought she ended up looking a little awkwardly squashed up. It's almost as if she needed even more cake to work with (which is saying something).

My fourth favorite is Scar, by default. I thought the licorice looked awesome as a mane, though I understand the problem with the rules. That aside, this cake was really lacking detail. Even if it hadn't fallen apart, it wouldn't really have deserved an award when compared with the others.

In last place is Jafar. Clearly, the poor lady was flustered and a newbie who mismanaged her time. It ended up looking like a large-scale preschool Play-Doh project, I'm afraid. I would have loved to see Jafar if she'd been given a few more hours to work on him.

Hopefully they do a second volume of this with five more villains. I'm with lord-of-sith... they need a Maleficent cake.

I know, that's what I hated about the Cruella cake too. He focused all of his time on the backdrop when he should have put more time into creating a better Cruella, afterall it is a Villain Competition. Cruella is my favorite Villain (with Maleficent) and I would of liked to see something better for her. Don't get me wrong though, the cake came out beautiful.

I pray that there will be another Villain cake competiton, with Maleficent and Evil Queen cakes.

I was really disappointed with the Jafar cake. I know that she had a big problem with time management, but I was really disappointed. It didn't look like him at all! I was sad. It wasn't too bad as a cake, but I was really disappointed. The Scar cake really got me upset, though. He is my favorite villian, and the cake was so boring!. Ooh, a mechanical arm. Deal more with the villian, not the robotics. Ursula wasn't too bad but her face was kinda weird and I really was looking forward to her tentacles. Amazing, amazing sculpting work though!

I was surprised that the major villians got such...bad results! But I was kind of glad that Cruella and Hook, lesser Disney villians, got the better treatment. They were beautiful. I kind of wanted the Cruella one to win because it was such a good design, but the Hook cake was flawless and amazing and did deserve to win :)

I'm glad I watched :)

I doubt you'll have to worry about that, Jafar isn't normally counted in the ranks of the princesses anyway.

Oh, and Jasmine, I wouldn't necessarily say Cruella and Captain Hook are less popular villains (they are probably the most known among the average person). They all seem pretty popular to me.

Oh! I understand. I was just very confused why you would think they would make another Jafar cake. I got it now!

Yeah, Jafar looked pretty bad.
