I can officially be a wedding cake maker :) (By which I mean I can now make fondant roses).
These cupcakes were for a friend of mine for her birthday. She had a Disney themed fancy dress party so I wanted to do something related. I knew that she was dressing up as Ariel so decided to use the colours of her clothes. I thought that would mean it had some kind of link without being massively OTT.
This was the first time I had ever made fondant roses so it was interesting :/ but really fun and I think they turned out OK. The cakes themselves were plain vanilla sponge and the turquoise buttercream completed the look. You can't really see in the photo but they are in red metallic cases (inspired by her hair). I have since made quite a few more roses and I am improving :) The main thing I need to fix is the fatness at the base of the rose. I have too much extra fondant which makes them very heavy to hold with buttercream and a bit too much to actually eat :(
