How my cake look like when I first started, and how does it look after several cake orders

So usually, I don't want to show how does my cake look like when I first accept a cake order..
But since, I am voicing out for positivity and spreading good vibes, I said, why not? Besides its my work and I can't deny that we all have our first try on everything new that we do..
Top left first picture is the very first cake I made, without any help of my pro sister who always makes cake..
It's not so good looking and, yeah very amateur.. Was ashame to show this since its not so good looking but why bother.. At least I have learned.. But the struggle is real, from making cakes and putting icing and frosting and decorating it. My tools are not complete and only uses whats already available.
Then next up to the last picture are the cakes that I have made, which for me I really have think I have improved my decorating skills..
I really take time and effort to research on designs and look for some alternatives to make it more presentable with little details, plus my hand writing is not so good.. I have to practice more.. I also give my customers some suggestion if they would like to put something or change colors and stuffs.. And I am now more happy with the results on what my cakes would look like after I decorated it.
Have you guys happen to experience something like this? How did you feel then and now?

@Hanbinandaeyo The bottom right is the one I like more, because I love the colors.

Thank you.. Really glad u like it..
At first.. Baking was taught when I was in college, we have completed a national certificate for baking when we we're still just in college.. Years after, I really did not do baking after graduation.. But I helped my sister who's also a pastry chef back then.. Just this june I started making my own cake without any help, and learned decorating while watching youtube and also asking some opinions from my sister

@hereandthere No.. My college course was Industrial Education and majored in Food Service Management..
It's like hitting 2 birds in one stone.. I can be a teacher, also can be on the industry..

The improvement from the first cake to the last one is impressive. Remember, strive for progress not perfection.

We can see a tremendous and gradual improvement there. You are doing good. It's rightly said that Practice makes perfect
I am learning crochet from my younger daughter who is a pro at it. I am improving with practice.

They are all chocolate flavored cake..
The yellow one was a request from a friend.. She doesn't want any other designs rather than white flowers
