A special design for someone special :) This was a cake I made for Sal's birthday, the rose petals were made of strawberry chocolate, inside was sponge cake layers with fresh cream and a rainbow of different coloured fruits. This is a design inspired by Cafe Pouchkine's Rose du Tsar and Tony Wong's Pink Rose. It took me a while to figure out how to make a cake like a big rose. :-O
The strawberry modelling chocolate needs to be rolled out to paper thin to create the rose petals effect,
and quite a lot of petals are needed to cover an 8 inches cake ;)
The rose I made was fuller than Cafe Pouchkine's Rose du Tsar and Tony Wong's Pink Rose, I couldnt figure how they used so little petals.
I wish Sal a very Happy Birthday with her lovely family xoxo
