How many roses do you guys think I should make for a 8 or 9 round? I'm going to make 15 for little clusters around the top rim holding ribbon in place. Then I want to use roses to go around the base as a border.

Thanks to all you experienced rose people! This will actually be the first time I get to put roses on a cake! Everybody seems to want gift box cakes, baby cakes blah blah blah. I'm so bored with those and I'm so excited to do this 40th birthday cake for a friend. It's supposed to be pink and white. Can't decide if I should do cornelli lace or not....oh, decisions decisions.... icon_biggrin.gif

Cornelli lace is a favorite of mine. I use it a lot, and it is especially nice on a cake for a lady. The number of roses will depend on how crowded you want them on the cake. I think less is more, most of the time. See what looks nice to you.

Should I make different sized roses or try to keep them all uniform in size?

I prefer a variety of sizes and think it looks better with everything not so uniform...MHO.

Good luck!!

Search "roses" in the galleries and look at all the varying things that come up. That's usually how I get an idea for what I want.

I would definitely go with different sizes for on top. I'd probably go with uniform sizes for the base border, but I'm not sure what you have in mind. Trust your instincts.
