Excellent!

Does it look blurry to you? Or smudgy? It didn't look like that in the render window! Thank you Ponti55!

Good. Blender is a difficult program and this is a fine beginning. Take it easy with reflections and things will improve for sure.

For being your first render you did a decent job! There's a lot of tweaking that needs to be done though. The glass isn't correct transparent and should refract (look for glass tutorials about that). As for the texturing you should smooth the surfaces and add bump maps.

Thank you dka120. There's still plenty of time left. Hopefully I will be able to learn how to fix it.

This looks great to me, it's your first 3D render and it's very impressive! The reflections are excellent and the materials look good. The cake does look a tad bit blurry, but not enough to worry about. You could do some post work in photoshop if you wanted to.

I made some adjustments to the Ray Transp Refract (IOR) bar, and others, on the cake cover. I also set it to fade to sky color.

i have not worked with 3d, however visually and for a first time entry i think this is just FAB! Can not wait to see what you produce in the future.. GL

Thanks everyone for the kind and constructive comments!
