Polka Dots and Roses

Here's another not so great picture of a really cool cake.

I have been dying to make these roses and have never been able to. I've seen people make them and they always look so easy, darn roses! I could never do it. After many many failed attempts I thought, hmmm, I might have a book that illustrates how to make these. I was right!

After searching up and down my cookbook and cake decorating collection, I found the wonderful Cakes to Dream On by super fabulous Collette Peters. She makes amazing cakes, I'm sure all of you know her.

Well, Collete did have an illustration on how to make these cute fantasy roses and I was able to finally rise to the task. Yay for me!

Just look at how cute they are!

I think this cake is so cute! I must admit that I was copying a cake from the amazing Pink Cake Box, her cakes are also super fabulous!

I have to say that I also love the ribbon with the teeny roses :
By the way, this was a vanilla cake filled with Nutella Mousse... yummy!! Seems to be one of the crowds favorites!
