OK, so i need inspiration here...i got an order for a 10" square cake for an adults b'day in a few weeks
so the husband ordered for the wife..he's hooked on the traditional roses and bla bla bla...but they are young and i want to do something funkier...he really doesnt care...he says she likes purple and green and wouldnt mind a little pink in there..
anyone have any idea's how i can make it a little more modern looking and incorporate some roses?? i'm stuck
sounds good....i'm thinking of making the background purple...and then pink flowers and green vines and leaves...but i need something more modern to make it special!
If you have some of Wilton's wedding cakes books, there are some cool ideas for some "modern" (wilder) styles of cakes...loops, confetti-type stuff...lots of fun inspiration.
I love lavender and sage green together, but I wouldn't put much pink in there unless he really wanted it (just mho). There's electric purple and lime, too, but that seems a little bright for a grownup.
i dont think he wants alot of pink in there either...
i dont have the new wilton weddings books...what kinds of loops and confetti?? from fondant?
Oooohhhh how about electric green and fushia pink and of course a bit of purple.That would look funky!!
My Wilton books aren't super-new, but I have about 4 of them from the last 2-3 years...
I think the loops would be from royal icing on the one I'm thinking of, but it looks positively MODERN. Don't know how roses would combine with it though--it looks like the cake stuck it's "finger in a light socket" if you can picture that...lol
Confetti probably with gumpaste or fondant.
sage green cake with lavender (and/or pink) loops..?
lavender cake with sage green and white loops...
fondant offers tons of possibilities too--the whimsy cakes are fun, and there are tons of ideas, but they're not traditional...
hmm...
What about something more "Martha"-ish...she has some neat ideas on her website, and there's a really cool cake in this month's MS Living magazine, but I'm not sure how they did the fondant on it. I love it. It's like a ridged sheet of fondant around a round cake, and the top is spilling over with flowers. Looks like, um, sort of a container of flowers. Maybe not funky enough though, but if he likes traditional...
And it could work in those colors...
will do!!
i'm also checking out the martha site...dont have the magazine
I keep getting ideas...
If he likes roses and traditional, what about cornelli lace...
I have a heart cake in my gallery that would be cool in your colors...cornelli lace and a green ribbon, with fondant roses on it.
Ok, shutting up now, tee hee..! 
I too have a purple birthday cake to do. I also like more trendy... and of course they want roses! LOL! so, i convinced her to let me do a lavender frosting, medium purple swiss dots, varrigated purple roses with green leaves and i will do a dark purple ribbon for borders. it will be done the 22nd, will post a pic. be sure and post a pic of what you do!
i like the idea of the purple bow...maybe 2 tone...i think i have some purple fondant at home...
i like the idea of cornelli too...now i have to put this all together!

I was thinking of that same Sylvia Cake--Yours is beautiful--homecook!
Lavender icing with white cornelli, Pale pink ribbon, Lavender roses. But orient the cake on the diagonal. It would be stylin'
