This cake was originally planned for a friend, but she canceled on me. I adjusted the design a little and decided to make it for my Grandmother anyway "just because". I already had the ingredients and I wanted to practice my roses anyway- I'm trying to find a rose-making style I'm happy with. I think it turned out OK. The cake was vanilla w/ strawberry buttercream and fresh strawberries for filling. The finish is buttercream (not my best smoothing) with a fondant "ribbon" and gumpaste roses. The rose on the side of the cake is an open rose...
