Subtle sparkle and sweeping roses

As long as these handmade roses take to make, they are well worth every second and every last individual painstakingly made and applied petal. Instead of ribbon around the base of the tiers Dawn chose a string of beads which was less intrusive on the design of roses and delicate flowers that cascaded down from the top tier to the bottom.

 

 

We often work on cakes that have designs in a different shade to the base colour itself but sometimes the rich ivory tones, especially the deep middle of the roses which lessens as it reaches the outer petals, just looks so stunning against a colour similar to itself.

 

 

 

We just love the giant roses which seem to sweep as they reach the outer layers and the pretty little clusters of flowers nestled among them, finished with a subtle scattering of sparkle to catch the light.
