White Rose Baptism Cake

Last month I was asked if I would be willing to make a baptism cake.  My first thought was 'Yes, of course!'.  And before I even inquired about the design I immediately began picturing how the cake was going to look. This is what I pictured...



Isn't it pretty?  This beautiful communion cake was made by Dawn, a very talented cake decorator I'm happy to call my friend.  She makes some amazing cakes. Don't take my word for it, take a look for yourself.


I was hoping to make something similar but let's just say that my idea was way out of the ballpark!  See...


The customer requested a three tiered cake covered in white fondant with roses, rose petals, a couple of angels, faux pearls, and a fondant drape across the front.  Sounds like quite the baptism cake right?! Well, it was...



Little did I know this little beauty was for the owner of the bakery.  Was I nervous? No, not really.  Did I want to give them my best? Always!  


Although they can be intricate and time consuming, I enjoy making edible flowers.  These roses and rose petals weren't the exception.  I think they make a beautiful addition to any cake.
