Strawberry Chocolate Rose Petal Cake ✿

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 strawberry chocolate was not too sweet, I think it matched very well with the rainbow fruits inside. The rainbow colours from the fruits reminded me of Sal's Sesame Street Rainbow Birthday Cake from last year ❤.

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.
