Very pretty!

great job, the roses look great

It looks just like the picture on the book!!!! You did it Perfectly!!!!

I have always loved the look of this cake! You did a wonderful job on it...looks just like the book!!

As everyone said you have done a wonderful job of replicating the book. I have seen this attempted on a few occassions but this is certainly one of the best... congratulations.. Can I ask what made you decide on royal for the roses rather than buttercream... I want to give this cake a try down the track (the reason I baught the book) and wondered if you did it for a reason.

I used royal instead of buttercream to save myself time. I have to take whatever shortcuts I can when trying to chase down my boys. Doing the roses the week prior saved me a lot of time. There really wasn't a special occasion. A friend of mine was having an open house for a bunch of independent consultants (CM, SU, PC, TS, & MK) and I was asked to participate by bringing a cake - to hopefully attract some customers. But there ended up being a hurricane that day and no one showed up. :cry:

Absolutely beautiful! Great job!

Beautiful roses!!! Terrific work on your cake!!!

Stunning. Exactly like the book. I love this cake :D

Wow I was like oh I have seen this one before... nut only in the book you did a great job!!! You Should be very proud!

Very elegant and beautiful cake. I tried to make this cake and thought of practicing the sides, it is too tough and time consuming. Can you give my any tips for the side decoration because i really want to make this cake.
