I tried a new buttercream recipe today - it was wayyy too buttery for me, but it was nice and stiff - great for piping roses! I did have trouble getting the icing to sit on the flower nail though - maybe too stiff?
My first try at piping a rose - ok, but could be much better!
Then later on I made another fondant rose - only bigger. I thought, what am I going to do with this now? So I made a cake LOL. I tried another buttercream recipe, but it was too soft to pipe! So I thought I would try icing the cake with it instead of fondant. For something different, I cut 2 circles out of the cake with a scone cutter, and layered them to make a small, but tall cake. Once finished, it looked too plain, so I put a little banner at the bottom with Mum on it, as it's Mums Birthday today. Trouble is - she lives 600+kms away LOL Ahhh I'll just send her a photo and tell her how yummy it was bwahahaha.
