Elina's 65th Birthday

Hi Everyone
Hope you all had a good Christmas! I've been busy baking, eating, sleeping and lots of shopping : ) ( not necessarily in that order!)
My friends south of the border actually got a white Christmas, I think they got a little too much! Here we didn't get any snow at all. Some of you might have been disappointed, but I was kind of happy because I didn't want to shovel : (

The following cake was done for my friend Geovanna's mom, who celebrated her 65th birthday. I was given freedom to choose colours and thought that the pink/white and a hint of green just look so pretty together. To tie it together, I added the black/white ribbon!

This was my first attempt at making a rose using the cut outs. I wasn't happy with the centre part, but otherwise not bad for my first time. Normally I make roses one petal at a time using my fingers to shape the petals and then attach them.. I'm working on doing a tutorial and will let you all know when that is going up: )

Anyhow, I've got to get going but will be here tomorrow to post some photos of the Hello Kitty / Miss Melody cupcakes!  They turned out so cute!!

take care : )
