The Image: Had to get something in for the Birthday Party! Tried a couple of other ideas, but they didn't work out. I figured a food shot with cakes worked OK.
Bought the cakes and they moved in the box and all the cream lost it's edges! D'Oh!!! Anyhow, had to settle for a small aperture to blur out the background so this couldn't be seen. The two chocolate ones rolled over altogether and lost their cream...
The Edit: Very basic levels, USM, Noise Ninja, some blurring and colour adjustments.
Prediction: Not sure it will do better than 6.

Blows my cupcake shot out of the water. I'd say the #6 pushed you into a compositional situation that might not have been the best for the overall shot but the treatment is stunning nione the less.
