A Wedding Cake? Seriously?


So Sonya and Zak are engaged and they've asked me to make their cake. It's meant to be 4 tiers, ivory fondant with a pearl border in ivory and ivory gum paste roses on top and splashed about on each tier. I can't breathe.

I've never made a gum paste rose, but I have some leftover gum paste from my first miserable attempt at a flower, so I gave it a shot.

My gum paste is old and dry and not suitable for making roses. This is really sad. I only have 8 months to get this right.
