Breast Cancer Rose Cake

Breast Cancer Rose Cake on Cake Central

I made this cake today for my neighbor who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She is young, a mother of three and one of the nicest people I know. The cake is inspired by Peggy Porshen's beautiful rose cake. Mine is all buttercream and chocolate cake underneath. The hearts are fondant.

This is so beautiful ... especially considering the circumstances ... I would have never put the two together ... but now - such a beautiful way to let someone know you are thinking of them!

Beautiful! How did you keep the roses from falling off the cake? Again- very beautiful and hopefully the recipient is going to be okay.

jewels625- I made the roses a day ahead of time and let them dry. I then used fresh buttercream to "glue" them on the cake. They kind of rested on themselves. I did loose a couple in the process! :roll: I used small skewers for the hearts and stuck them into the cake.
