My final cake, a 2-tier wedding-style cake. This cake consists of 10-inch and 6-inch cakes, covered in fondant with fondant roses and leaves, and buttercream borders. I actually completed this cake on my own at home because I came down with a little bug and couldn’t make it to my final class. I am pretty proud of completing this with only the instruction of the book and not a teacher!
These roses were definitely time-intensive, as it probably took about 5-6 hours total to construct the 38 roses that went on this cake. Other than that, it was a pretty typical decorating job. I am having a great time doing cake decorating and will move on to the Wilton Fondant & Gum Paste class in July.
More pictures after the break (I went a little crazy with the camera)…

Oh wow Chelle! It’s so beautiful!!!
I *must* take the wilton classes!
It’s been such a pleasure watching you progress!
OMG it’s gorgeous! your fondant looks so smooth and roses are fantastic!
Wow – can I put in an advance order for one whenever I get around to getting married?
that is so cool! I cant wait to do the fondant class! We dont have the gum paste class in NZ. Last night was my night 3 of the royal icing class. We made heaps of cool flowers which I cant wait to practice in the weekend. The royal icing roses seem to be harder than the buttercream ones, so looking forward to learning to do the fondant ones!
This cake looks just beautiful! I love the pink roses. I can’t wait to start taking the classes so I can get started on making pretty cakes like this!
omg, that is a BEAUTIFUL cake! Way to go!
Those roses are amazing …. just wow.

OMG! You actually made that? With your own hands?
I will never ever bake a cake again, let alone take pictures of my sorry encounters!
Chelle, this is magnificent, absolutely stunning!
That is gorgeous. I’m so envious of those with talent like yours.
It came out beautifully!
So how does it taste? (Really, this is what I care most about- the eating part!)
Erika – It’s great! The top (smaller) tier is a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing and the larger cake is a basic yellow cake with vanilla buttercream icing.
What a great job! Your roses are gorgeous and your ribbon border is fabulous! So much better than I can do with that border. Great job!
