Beginners luck

sugar rose

This morning I decided to have a stab at making a sugar rose. I’ve seen the technique described in cake decorating books that I have, but have never attempted it, or been given any tutoring on it. Despite all that, I am rather pleased with the result, but I imagine seasoned sugar crafters may spot a few mistakes.

The rose has nothing to do with the cake I am decorating in class, I just thought I’d try it. The cake itself should be finished in two weeks, if not before. I will put pictures up of the finished product, but this is what it looks like so far.

    Sarah- That is so beautiful - the cake AND the rose. Wish I could do stuff like that! Really cool!

    If I can do it, any numpty can ;-) It’s taken a lot of patience (and swearing), but thank you.
