Here's my version of Peggy Porschen's gorgeous Rose Tower cake.  I made the roses out of fondant instead of marzipan, but otherwise it's pretty much the same.  I made it for my friend's engagement party.  Her mom threatened to get a christmas-themed cake from costco.  She came to me, weeping (dramatic brides), and I saw the opportunity to make this cake (about which I'd been obsessing for months).  Finally, an excuse!

This is gorgeous, but I would hate to be the one to cut it. First because it's too pretty and second because I wouldn't know where to begin!!

BEAUTIFUL! What sizes were your cake tiers? And how many roses did it take? It is absolutely beautiful...
baker4life 12/2/06 at 10:04am
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!
modthyrth 12/2/06 at 10:05am
I used 3" tall tiers, in 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2 inch sizes. I made about 100 roses. Plus the ones to replace the ones my 3 year old ate. ;-)

This cake is absolutely beautiful!! How did you atache the roses to the cake?
modthyrth 12/2/06 at 10:15am
The tower of cake is iced in buttercream, then wrapped in fondant. I used royal icing to attach the roses (as per peggy's instructions). I have no idea how to cut the cake either, LOL! I just make the cake pretty. Cutting is someone else's problem. ;-)

Beautiful! Love her book!

So pretty!! I am going to try this one for my mom - she loves roses and butterflies. Did you make the butterflies with rice paper?
modthyrth 12/2/06 at 10:41am
I didn't have enough time to make the butterflies, so I bought feather butterflies at Michael's. Not edible, but fast and pretty!

Oh WOW!! Please, just a couple Q's, did you carve the cake to a cone shape? And what size aprox was each rose? And what mold did you use for the roses? LOVE LOVE LOVE your cake!
modthyrth 12/2/06 at 10:44am
Yep--I just doweled and stacked the cakes, then carved into a cone shape. The roses were probably 2-3" in diameter, and I hand-formed them. No molds.
nefgaby 12/2/06 at 10:48am
Thanks Modthyrth!! Love everything about this cake and you are truly talented, amazing roses!
marecip 12/2/06 at 11:34am
What a fabulous idea. Your cake is breathtaking. I can't wait to try on like this.

Just looked at this in Peggy's book, & was delighted to see your version of it. It's just gorgeous! Have no idea how you did all those roses .... I'd have gone mad after the first ten!
angelcakesmom 12/2/06 at 1:17pm
wow just gorgeous!
Momkiksbutt 12/2/06 at 2:25pm
Very pretty......you know you could also use the vintage 3-D christmas tree pan for this, I bet it would look the same and take less work. I have saved this pic for future use....Nice job!!
