My First Ever Go At Icing Roses

this is my first ever go at bc roses, and vines, etc, cake is white sponge cake with strawberry preserve filling , frosted with bc and some fondant roses, also some fondant leaves ( were a disaster) tastes good, but am posting it so we can all see my improvements over time lol.

Thats a pretty cake, and your roses look great, especially for a first time. Good job!

thanks for your comment mgdqueen, it was my first attempt at roses, both piped and hand make with fondant, i just wish the leaves turned out better

add about 1 tsp of piping gel to about 1/4 cup of icing. its gives it more stretch. hope this helps!
