Mom's Birthday Is Friday And Need Some Input...

I will post a pic of the concept of what I am trying to do. I will make the cake on Thursday.
I want to make a 2 tiered single layer cake in a scalloped pan. I want to cover the top tier's top in roses and the part of the top of the 2nd tier with roses. Should I ice the sides smooth or do a basket weave? Only family will see the cake.
Also what color scheme do you suggest?
The cake will be white with buttercream icing.
Mom's favorite color is purple. Should I make the roses all the same color or should they be different shades of purple? I plan on the sides being white.
I agree with the smooth sides. How about different shades of purple and lavendar for the roses?
Please post a picture when you are done.

Lovely ideas. I will try to post a pic as soon as the cake is done.
Can I make roses today out of buttercream and freeze them until I am ready to put them on the cake Thursday? I normally do all cakes in one day but I thought if I could freeze the roses without them bleeding on the cake later it would save some time.
Well I finished the cake. It took me 3 hours not counting baking and cooling time. I was going to stripe the yellow roses but forgot until I already had the icing in the bag and I didn't want to have to use another bag. (What can I say I am cheap. lol) I think my roses would of been more planned out if my 3-year-old would of left me alone. He kept begging for icing. lol. I know I have too many dark purple roses together.
Be honest and let me know your opinions.
Your roses look great. I especially like the rose to the right with the dark purple on the outside.
Honest opinion, next time I would use fewer roses.

I think a simple border along the bottom would finish it off... that said it is GORGEOUS!
