Pink and Grey Wedding Cake

I love hand painting so wanted to incorporate a gorgeous painting inspired from Laura Ashley to my cake, I also wanted to make the rose ruffle as I think they are so vintage and romantic, the top tier is ombre grey hearts and has script emboss on them in keeping with "romantic love letters."

Wow, this deserve to be in the Cake Central Magazine!! it's absolutely a piece of art! --can you share how you did the lace at the bottom of the top tier?

Lovely cake! Superb job on the painting! Did you freehand?

Thank you! Yes, I used a bit of gum paste and fondant mixed together then roll out thin, roll into a bud then stick to the fondant but I stuck a cocktail stick in the middle just so that it gives a bit of support to help stick while you roll the rest of the fondant round to make the rest of the ruffle rose! Yes it is also free hand painting which I love inspired by Laura Ashley Chiswick print! Thank you for your kind comments! xx
