i saw a few other cakes on this site covered in roses, so i thought i'd give it a try. of the first 25 roses i made, most faded (that's rarely happened!) and a few had those annoying little white spots.... so i made more and so far so good... we'll see how they look in the morning. cake is marble and is iced with bc. a friend in our bible study asked me to make this for her birthday. :)
