So pretty! Where did you get the recipes from? They sound wonderful! The flowers are beautiful too!

love the cake and the flowers, just curious why you put the flowers on a board??

Very pretty!!

Thanks everyone! The recipes are from Feast by Nigella Lawson. I just left the cocoa out of the old fashioned chocolate cake and used white chocolate rather than dark in the filling. The flowers didn't work out exactly as I wanted them at all! I put them on the board to make cutting the cake easier - they could be removed rather than having to find a spot between the flowers to start. But I didn't have enough flowers to conceal the board. No one seemed to notice that this was a mistake, though.

your flowers look great, if your roses are wired which i imagine they are, you can put them onto a piece of covered oasis, or a half polysteirine ball, or you can wire them all together so you can just remove them before cutting.

Thanks boonenati! I hadn't thought of that. The oasis or polstyrene certainly sounds much easier than what I ended up doing!

by the way, i love the blue with the white piping : )
