Buttercream with fondant rose petals....

Courtney wanted to have a tall cake with buttercream, but wanted large rose petals coming down the front. I created a fondant rose and placed it in the center, then had the fondant petals coming out and layered down the cake. This is one of my all time favorites. I traveled to Tulsa with it and it was set up in the ballroom at the Mayo.

Gorgeous!! I hope to be able to make a cake like this one day! Are the petals just "stuck" Onto the buttercream?

Megg, the rose in the center I made with a pick in it so I could secure it into place. Then I used buttercream to adhere the petals to the cake. The petals were HUGE. She wanted them big, and so I used a ceramic little ruffle tool to get the edges up, and then I dried some of them in an egg carton so they would be different shapes.
