Finally, here it is! I thought I'd never get these roses finished. This is my first tiered cake and my first time covering round cakes in fondant. Comments and constructive criticism welcomed! Thank you to everyone on CC who helped me with my roses!

Very well done :D How did you get the lines on the cake. Did you "free hand" them?

Thank you guys! The roses are fondant, and I used a diamond impression mat for the design on the sides. Trust me, you'd be able to tell if I tried to free hand them. :lol:
