Valentine's Day Cake

Image
I had been planning this for a while. It is a practice for my sister's wedding cake. It's got 4 tiers- two are white cake, one is marble, and the last is chocolate. That's right.... there are 37 eggs in this baby. But I also used some of that batter to make a few cupcakes: I also made mini roses for the mini cupcakes. Dirty iced cakes Top of cake, homemade frosting roses, with a cross that will be on top of my sister's wedding cake. My huge cake I added leaves The finished product. I used a satin ribbon on the bottom for an added simple decoration.

Rose Cake with Fondant

I finally tried fondant for the first time. I really liked it. Here I used some shimmery powder that I painted on the frosting flowers that I made myself. I made my own icing leaves with homemade buttercream frosting. It was easier than I thought. The drapes are made of fondant, as well as the pink hearts and pink roses on the sides of the cake. To make them pink, I just kneaded red food coloring in the white fondant. The Final Product!
