I dont know if this sounds crazy or not, but if I were to make roses ahead of time, would I be able to freeze them or refridgerate them and then add them to the cake a day or 2 ahead of time?
Freezing the roses actually makes it easier to put them on the cake so go for it!

You can do it, post a picture(: just remember to put cake boards between each tier and dowel rod them
You can freeze buttercream roses, you can also let them air dry, which is what I prefer. If you air dry them they are very light in weight, once the moisture is gone. You can arrange them easier this way. Air dried roses are crusty on the outside buy are still soft on the inside and can still be cut and eaten with the cake.
The floral arrangement I did on this cake was with air dried roses as well as the violets. It makes placing them on the cake a lot easier.

How long do you let them air dry to be able to handle them? Do you leave them out on the counter uncovered or covered?
thanks

The only reason i froze mine was that i was crunched for time , Air dried would be good as well,

I usually make my roses in the evening and let them air dry over night. I then decorate the cake the following day. The beach wedding cake I did, I made orchids and I made them like a week ahead of time and placed them on the cake. If I am going to keep them more than one day, I place them in a covered container until ready to use. The ones I will be using within 24 hours I just leave out, with a paper towel covering them. You will be surprised at how light weight they become and how easy it is to arrange them.
