Red Roses Cake
OMG, I think I over did it with the petals. Probably the cake would look better without the scattered petals.. me trying to be a little romantic 
. Well, I keep arranging the petals, trying to make it look ‘natural’. And all my hubby could do was give me that ‘why even bother’ look 
. I thought of removing the petals, but I don’t think hubby cum cameraman would want to snap any more photos. So we’ll have to live with this memory.
Anyway, I’m proud to say that I made the roses.. Yup ! Took me the whole afternoon making the leaf and roses.
I use that plastic butter knife to cut the leaf, to get that jagged effect (thanks Pol ! ). Here’s a close up :
For the petal, I run my bone tool along the edges, on a foam.
The making of the swags :
To make the button, I just use the end of a big piping tip. Press into a small ball of gumpaste.
I think the cake looks a bit too simple. Actually I’ve run out of ideas on how to further glamorize it. Making the flowers had sucked out all the creativity in me, for today. I think I’ll have to call it a day. Nite-nite.
p/s : I have started taking fondant cake orders 
. For KL and Selangor area. Thanks for your support.

Those are the nicest most romantic of roses. The colours are unusually beautiful Min. I dont think you over did it with the petals too.
I have been away for a few days, and you’ve been busy decorating! Need to go back to the kitchen and finish the laundry Min. Catcha later.

Mat, aku rasa mcm terover pulak petals itu.. nasib lah Labu.. mungkin ada makna tersembunyi utk Mat (mesti ingat awek lama ni.. hihihi..)
