Purple Ombre Rosette

Oh my, simple and stunning!

Thank you, karthurs! :)

That is one of the prettiest rosette cakes I have seen. AND chocolate with french vanilla - to die for! Love it!

Beautiful !

Thank you! You are all so kind :)

That looks yummy, not to mention, my favorite color! Very well done.

Tnx, NannyD! Purple is my fave color, too! :)

Lovely!

This is so pretty Wendy. I must "borrow" this for my mother's birthday - she loves purple and the rosettes are so feminine and simple ? they really make for a classy look, and the shade layering dresses it up very subtly as well. Thanks for sharing this!

Beautiful. Do you mind me asking, do you do your first rose at the top or the bottom? And do you have any tips to make it look this perfect?

You are welcome, Fyrgirl1. And, thank you for the compliment! Yes, this is a very simple design (with just a single stroke), yet has that feminine and classy look ;) Perfect for Mother's Day indeed. (P.S. I just read your profile --- I'm a mom and a wife as well, work full time, and baking is also my alone 'ME' time :) )

...a single stroke *to make a rosette

Thanks, alisonchapman! I crumb-coated the cake with the purple buttercream (so the gaps and negative spaces in between the rosettes won?t be that obvious ;) ). I started on the bottom using Wilton tip 1M and worked myself up, then added white buttercream after each layer to lighten it a bit.

This is beautiful !
