I finally made a rose that I am happy with!

So I had to make this whole cake just to put it on!


Sorry for the pat on my own back, but I have been trying almsot everyday for a week to get this stinkin rose.

Great job, you should pat yourself on the back.

I tried to leave a comment on that cake, but you are not allowing comments on your pics (if you want to change that go to forum info)........great cake by the way.

oh man that cake looks delish! Curse my diet!!! The rose is beautiful, btw

reesesob, you should be patting yourself on the back over this rose! It is beautiful! I am still working to get them right too. It just takes getting the right consistency of icing and that little knack of the wrist!
I like your whole cake! You put a lot of work into it and it shows. The single rose looks great!

Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, what a beautiful rose and cake. It looks yummy.

Aaaww, soft and pretty. I know you must feel proud, good for you.

its goooorrgeoussss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's so pretty! I just want to eat it.

Looks GREAT to me

Beautiful! And delicious looking cake. And I 2nd that "curse my diet"(er mean "lifestyle change" as my WW leader says!-lol)

Thank you all! I really am so hapyy with the way it turned out.
I have decided that I must start going to the gym tomorrow, because since I started doing cakes again this month I have also been eating alot of cakes this month!

Everyone here is so helpful and my hat is off to you all!

The rose looks absolutely perfect Great job

The bead work (or whatever it's called) looks fantastic! Great rose and great cake

Not only is your rose beautiful, but so is your cake design. I just love that pattern you used to highlight your rose - so pretty.

your cake and rose is really pretty .

Your rose and cake are both beautiful!! Can I have a piece????

I know how you feel about the rose. I finally got it after a few months!!!

I love making them now! (when I ever get a chance )

Thanks everyone! It makes me feel GREAT to hear eveyone likes this cake so much.
I honestly have to say that this one of the only cakes that I have steped back and said "WOW! I really like this one".
I got the idea for it from the cover of a wilton book (that one has about 30 roses on it!) but I loved how the dots looked and figured this would be a good oppertunity to do it.
I used the Wilton Pattern Press Set to get the lines and then used a #3 tip for the dots.
Again, thank you all so much I can't wait to make the next cake!

The rose is wonderful and I like the dots on it as well. It gives the rose the focus of attention. Good job!

Beautiful Rose! Good job, its beautiful
