I made this cake for a co-worker’s bridal shower. It’s a three-layered chocolate cake with grand marnier buttercream frosting, filled with buttercream frosting and raspberry jam. I piped a curly, swirly decorative motif all over the cake with buttercream. I had several options for making the roses. My first attempt to create one out of homemade white chocolate modelling paste proved unsuccessful. Fortunately, I had a plan B and C and settled at plan B pictured above – roses made of gumpaste. (Plan C, incidentally, was to use marzipan, which I knew would be the safest route). The cake was another big hit!
