Week #24 – White Flowers

I wanted to try a cake that I just covered in white flower pedals.  The effect was quite lovely.

I made about 3 of these pedals using the rose pedal cutter and let them dry overnight in egg crates so they would have a nice natural curve to them.

I covered the cake with buttercream.  In order to get the buttercream super smooth I covered it with 1 layer, put it back in the fridge, covered it with a second layer, put it back in the fridge, covered it with a third…

It’s damn near  impossible to get the buttercream completely smooth but this was an exercise in patience.

I think this would be great as the top of a wedding cake right?

The cake is chocolate cake with a vanilla buttercream inside.

No one really got to eat this cake.  Isn’t it a shame when something so pretty goes to waste?
