I'm known to go a little overboard for Miss A's birthday. For birthday number seven we had a lovely girly pink afternoon tea party at the Tudor Place Historic House in Washington, D.C. This rosy pink birthday cake was what we enjoyed along with other treats at the tea party.
I used the same chocolate cake batter to make this two layer cake as I did for the ice cream cone cupcakes. I a lighter pink buttercream to place between the layers and frosted a thin layer all around the cake.
It's quite easy to make the rose buttercream decorations around the cake:
1) I used a round cookie cutter to place the round outline for where I wanted to place the roses around the cake.
2) I used a Wilton 1M tip to create the roses in each circle. I started in the middle and went around to create my messy yet pretty roses.
It was a fairly easy cake and design, but it made for a very happy birthday girl.
