Gold and purple - all rosy! Cake!
Last Friday I caked for the lovely ladynanook. I was told she likes white cake, roses, purple, and gold.
So she got a white cake, with vanilla pastry cream in the center, iced with purple buttercream, and hand-painted gold rose-water buttercream roses.
The purple doesn't show as true purple in the photos - but it was a really gorgeous purple, and not quite so blue like in the photo. I'll have to figure out some camera settings to get that better some time.
I was trying to get the shininess of the gold to show up - so natural light was a must! I had trouble with the cats and actually had to lock Scampi and Rio in the bathroom while photographing!
Shiny! The rose-water flavor was so neat on the roses! Mmm... edible gold dust!
I wish I'd brought more home - it was tasty the next day after reffing!
