Tinkerbell and A Rose

First of  the three cakes I made for my little princess this year for her birthday. It is an all edible gravity defying Rose cake with an internal support. She wanted a Tinkerbell  on her cake and loved the colour purple....so my princess had a Tinkerbell ( all sugar ) floating down on to a Rose.... a cake. She didn't want to cut it , luckily I had a plain cake, so she cut that and kept this for the family party.

20 Roses & Initials

 

 
My sister-in-law made a surprise anniversary cake for a close relation of hers , she planned to make a three tier cake with lots of flowers and had lots to do. So I helped her and made the roses and the initials for the cake. I was asked to do peach coloured roses. Doing the roses was a bit tedious, doing 20 of them could be exactly that anyway ;-). To make it more interesting I dusted the centre a darker pink.

My sister-in-law also ended up dusting the outside of the rose petals with light pink petal dust so that it matched the Saree which she found out was a different colour to what she initially thought ( peach with a shot of pink throughout).

The initials were a last minute request after the cake was done, so nothing fancy. The first initials I did, I thought was a bit too big to be put on top of the cake which already had a lot of flowers so I did a much simpler cleaner looking initials. Ended up using both on the cake( one on top of the cake and one on the base).

 The surprise party is tomorrow and her cake has turned out really lovely.

My Rainbow Rose Collection

 

I felt like colouring up my blog, brightening up my day (I have been down in the dumps the last couple of months), bit of a colour riot, multi coloured hues, all rainbows. I know some people might be a bit put off by it, but I will take my chances ;-). What better way to do than roses? I know I have done the rainbow rose tutorial before, these are just variations of it.

 
The rose with the multi-coloured petal was actually suggested to me by Gaayathiri,  a friend of mine. I don't know whether I managed to come close to what she was thinking of. I felt I didn't.

Here is the link to my tutorial, in case anybody wants to try it with a sane looking normal colour ;-) ( click on the picture below):

Time to relax...make roses

 

Don't laugh, but I do seem to relax a bit when I do these little darlings, so when I am really stressed out , I makeup some time to try out a few. It might not work out for everybody(maybe the opposite actually ) but it sort of works for me hee.hee......

These are the outcome. Tried out a different centre this time.

Gumpaste Butterfly...

Princess

This cake was done for a sweet little girl who loves pink, princess etc.. The princess is based on the picture from the net and I painted the background  with how I felt on that day. Fondant/ chocolate buttercream chocolate cake.

Life is a Rose...... beware of the thorns!!

Why are people always captivated, spellbound by a ROSE I wonder sometimes.... but when you look at one you always understand..... its beauty is out of this world. .....trying to capture that essence is not an easy task, I am still in the process....whether I will reach there is questionable but here are few of my attempts....

 

Check out my very first published tutorial on roses on cake central. Don't know how descriptive and helpful it is though.

Fascination with MOSAIC....

 

This was an anniversary cake done for a nice couple. It was the culmination of my fascination with mosaic. I was initially going to do the full cake as mosaic but thought better of it ( It also reduced my workload a bit hee.. hee ;-)). Doing the mosaic rose was the hardest part of this cake especially the centre of the rose!!
