I am doing a basketweave cake for a co- workers birthday. I want to cover the top with flowers and some butterflies , but i am sick of roses! does anyone have any good ideas on how i could make this basketweave cake more interesting? Also i think i may want to use fall colors.
Please remember that the recipient is probably not sick of Roses. In fact, they may be her favorite!
(My daughter suggests adding a little fairy!)
Good luck with whatever you decide!
DecoratorJen,
After I wrote the comment , yes I thought about it and your right the recipient probably isn't tired of roses. I guess i am because i do those alot and i am trying to be different from 3 or 4 bakeries in my area.
What about lovely ribbon roses, they look so pretty but are less labour intensive than normal roses.
Please don't consider me to be stupid, but i still have alooot! to learn about cake decorating , but what are ribbon roses?
There are a couple of different ways to do them I think the second link is more in line with what people refer to on this site as Duff Roses. The last one is several links, basically a ribbon rose is a strip of fondant rolled up. But seeing it is better than the explanation!
