Rose Cake

IMG_0155

To my wonderful husband,

Please forgive me for putting roses all over your Birthday cake tonight (they were a sloppy afterthought).  I know men don’t “do roses”, but I am sure once you taste the delicious Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream, all will be forgiven!

Happy Birthday babe.

I will love you forever and always,
Leslie

P.S Hmmm, I think I did it to you last year too with the ruffle cake. My bad!

** Dear readers..to achieve this look use a 1m tip. I used this frosting recipe and folded in 9 oz. milk chocolate that was melted and cooled. It took me bout 1 minute for pipe the roses on the cake…I was in a massive rush. However if you take your time while piping, it would have a much cleaner look.

  3. Looks similar to I am bakers… http://iammommy.typepad.com/i_am_baker/2011/02/rose-cake-tutorial.html

    did you use her tutorial?

    • Amber,
      Wow, hers sure looks a lot cleaner than mine.
      No, I didn’t use any one persons tutorial. This cake technique seems to be floating all over the web. Its a pretty self
      explanatory. Just pipe and swirl with a 1m tip.

  4. If that is messy I would hate to see what 1 minute of doing that looked like with me doing it lol. It would be disastrous! Happy birthday to your hubby:)
