Roses

Since I was asked to make some flowers for Lori's wedding cake I figured it was a chance to learn a new technique. So I watched countless episodes of "Amazing Wedding Cakes" and surfed Youtube to learn something new. What I noticed was that not all buttercream roses are as hideous as they appear on grocery store cakes. So here are my attempts at some buttercream roses.

Lori

I made this all buttercream cake for Lori and her husband in January. The flowers are all handmade from gumpaste made to look like the flowers from her bouquet. The cake was alternating layers of vanilla and chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and raspberry mousse with vanilla buttercream.
