Chocolate Gardenias
2-layer Devil's food cake with chocolate buttercream. Borders, writing and embroidery done freehand in white buttercream. Gumpaste Gardenias and leaves (my first attempt at gumpaste) This cake was made for my sister who loves gardenias. the Gardenias were tricky! Kind of like a rose but not quite. More petals in each row and a tighter center. I wasn't happy about the chocolate buttercream bulge under the bottom rose, I didn't notice it until I saw the picture.
Well kiddo, I don't see any bulges except when I look in the mirror, this cake is a beauty, so elegant, love the design on the side, so delicate! Your flowers are lovely and the cake looks delish!
Fantastic cake and what bulge, even with my specs on I just don't see it, and the flowers are gorgeous:)
the gardenias look great--I love them, too but can't grow them here. what a terrific scent they have
I just realized that I left out the h in birthday and I fixed it on my cake. Don't I feel dumb, make a beautiful cake and top it with a mispelled word! Thank god someone on Cake Central pointed it out before I took it to the birthday girl!
Very pretty!
I want a corner with the flower!!!! Nice job!!
sooooo pretty!!!
superb....very delicious :)
Beautiful design :D
I agree with the bulge thing, but your gradenias are very pretty,maybe too many leaves though? Just my opinion, border is really neat and uniform I love that!
What a pretty and delicate-looking design! Awesome job on those gardenias!! A great looking cake!
