Enjoy my cake creation from today!
I saw this rose cake and decided I had to try it out. I followed her buttercream recipe exactly and I have no idea how she got her roses soooo smooth and pretty. That was the hardest icing to work with EVER. She must have made some changes to it...I will not use that icing again. For one...it's got shortening AND heavy cream in it. HELLO clogged arteries.
As per usual, I took many more pictures with my regular camera, but only 2 with my cell phone.
I actually made two cakes. One was a made from scratch white cake (which I tinted pink in honor of Valentine's Day) and the other was a chocolate cake mix from a box. I figured I should atleast have one good layer to fall back on! I included a milk chocolate layer of icing (from a tub) in between the two cake layers. I 'dirty' iced the whole cake in a white icing (from a tub) before piping on the roses from the homemade buttercream.
The second cake I delivered to our wonderful friends and their adorable one year old.
The first cake was enjoyed by my family (aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, parents and siblings) after dinner tonight.
I'll finally upload better pictures tomorrow....after I finish making my sister's wedding shower invites.
Oh goodie. I've got a feeling that I'm going to learn a lot from you!
