Oval wedding cake with ivory roses

Ivory buttercream over red velvet cake. I used a 2D tip instead of 1M tip on the roses so the petals would be a bit more defined, since I was using Antique Silk sparkle petal dust in spots all over the cake to add dimension. I'm now a huge fan of using the 2D tip on these roses instead of the 1M! The roses just seem crisper, and you have less "duds" that you have to scrape off and do over to keep from just looking like a spiral.

Thank you, trinac! it is super easy to use this technique -- i frosted this whole cake in about 20 minutes after assembling bare crumbcoated tiers on site! you can Google "i am baker rose cake" and get terrific instructions on the "i am baker" blog. She sort of pioneered this cake technique, but using a 1M tip with a very creamy frosting. For a crisper look, use the 2D (closed star) jumbo tip instead of the open 1M star, and using a stiff frosting will also help give petals definition!!
