Anniversary Cake
I want to be romantic, but its not in my blood. I want to be that wife that writes long paragraphs on the Facebook proclaiming endless love. I just can't bring myself to do it. Sorry Husband.
So I'm not a huge fan of cake. I love to make/decorate them, but hands down I'd rather have a cookie. So this is just a layer 6 inch round of chocolate cake. Husband is the fan of the chocolate cake, this is how I show love. I frosted it with a nice chocolate buttercream.
I then decided after 8 years of wedded bliss that he deserved a cake dusted with love or cocoa powder. I think they're pretty much the same thing. I don't own a duster thing. Obviously I don't even know what I'm talking about. So I used a tea disperser ? I'm not even sure what its called, but I own it!
So I dusted the cake.. The End
Just kidding, there's more. So I felt like this should be a fancy cake. Rose= Fancy. I colored my white buttercream with red. Oh so fancy.
Use disposable decorating bags. No one likes to wash bags after you've spent hours on a cake and they always feel greasy.. nasty
Wilton 103 tip
Flower nail. Attach a piece of wax paper with a little icing on the bottom side so that it doesn't move around on you.
Fat side down. Twirl it girl!
That's your base. Just a little guy.
On to the base add petals in odd numbers. the first should have 3. Then the next layer 5. Finish off with some edible glitter... yummo! Perhaps I should do a detailed blog on buttercream roses, since I'm basically a doctor of flower making.
Then use your flower scissors to remove your flower. Yes that is a half chopped potato you see. I don't have 3 hands. Deal with it.
Then just place your romantic red rose right onto your cake. I put roses all around the base of the cake.
whoops. Sometimes it just happens. Wipe it off and start over. It's all good!

Pipe some hearts on the side. There you have it a wonderful romantic cake.
