Cake for Mum
Cake for Mum
Uploaded By: katharry
This cake I’ve made for my mum. She loves roses. I had terrible trouble with the buttercream so the squiggly lines were an attempt to cover up the horrid icing job it did! I need to say a BIG thank you to Sweet_as_tisse who let me bombard her with questions about flowers and cake jewellery over the last two nights! This is nothing like what I had planned but then most of my cakes take a dramatic twist somewhere along the line! (don’t want to make another rose for a very long time!)

are your flowers fondant or buttercream, it is beautiful, how did you do the jewlery?
December 29th, 2006
katharry says:
The roses are fondant, and the pearls are threaded onto wire and twisted at the base of the pearl so you only see the top of the pearl. Hope that made sense? If you need any further info happy for you to PM me Smile
