My boyfriend, Joe, helped me to make this cake for his Grandmas birthday. The idea is similar to the cake below. We made plenty of different sized icing roses and cut the bottoms flat so that they would sit on the cake. After the sponge had been iced with white icing, Joe iced a pink border around the cake and we stuck the flowers on, using cocktail sticks to hold the pink rose onto the side of the cake. Grandma was iced onto a separate plaque of icing and the swirl design was piped on with pink butter icing- the same butter icing that I use to pipe cupcakes with. I researched filigree patterns online and used them as inspiration to create a pattern on the cake using a piping bag and a very small circular piping nozzle.
