Joan's Cake

Joan's Cake on Cake Central

This is my second cake - both layers (5" and 7") are chocolate with white chocolate bc filling. Covered in fondant, with fondant pearls and gumpaste roses. I can see so many flaws, but if I squint and look at it sideways, I'm really happy with it. My MIL loved it.

Second cake I wish I could make roses like that they are gorgeous as for the faults I don't see any just a beautiful cake.

Thank you for all your lovely comments. Yes, I made the roses myself - my 2 and 3 year old daughters had a little play(!!!) with them before they went on the cake, so some of the petals were broken. The fondant is not so great (at the back!). The top border was going to be just a plain band, but then I got the great idea to indent it with the ball tool - DH and children were waiting patiently (not!) in the car while I did this, so it was rushed and not as even as I would have liked... next time.

I squint and look sideways at mine all the time... most the time it does not look any better but I see no reason to squint or look sideways at this one... great work, love the roses
