Four-Tiered Retirement Cake
White almond sour cream & chocolate fudge almond sour cream cake, torted w/chocolate mousse filling, & finally smothered w/heavenly fudge icing. The roses are chocolate & white Tootsie Rolls. This was the first tiered cake & the first Tootsie Roll roses I had ever made. It was for my DH's retirement. He wanted it to look like there were ropes w/knots around the cake. The roses were my idea for the kids - LOL. It's not perfect but everyone liked it & we had fun. Thanks for looking & critiquing!
I think it's perfect because it looks so deeeeelish. Great job and tell the kids that the roses are a great touch.
Ooops, I forgot to ask, what is a Tootsie Roll rose????
They are roses made out of Tootsie Rolls. You mold them by hand. You can also use Starburst fruit chews. There are lots of posts on how to do these in the forums. If you have trouble locating these, PM me & I'll try to get the instructions to you. And thanks for the comment!
It looks so nice and sounds delicious!
Thank you to Iloveweddings for your comment. We gave the leftovers to the wait staff at the restaurant we were in and before we got our bill paid, it was all gone! 8O :D
Fabulous! Never new about the Tootsie Roll roses--will certainly have to try it. :D
Looks and sounds so yummy! Great job with the roses.
