Slightly christmas themed tiered cake

This was a cake I made for a charity event at my school just before christmas (I know that was ages ago but I sort of forgot to post it :/ ).  It was sold in slices and all the money went to charity so I felt like that was my good deed for the week :)

The cake inside was a plain vanilla sponge with buttercream and the decorations were made of fondant.  You can see the roses that I tried again :) I think they look a little more realistic in red rather than the purple from the Ariel cupcakes I made ;)

The cake was fun to make as there wasnt a particularly strong theme so I could sort of do whatever I wanted :)

I made the spiral candy cane type things in advance to allow them to harden but I think I probably made them too thin as quite a lot still broke :( However, I think it is a great effect so it may be appearing on many more cakes in the future ;)

Overall, the cake went down well :) People were impressed, the whole thing was sold :O and lots of money was raised for charity :D
