Everything’s coming up roses

Congratulations to Fabric HQ who celebrated their third birthday last week. To wish them happy birthday, I made this lovely bouquet of flowers for the Sewcial last night.

To make the bouquet, roses – in white or graduated pink tones of buttercream – were piped on vanilla cupcakes using a 2D nozzle. The roses were then attached to a foam ball (not as easy as it might look! but fortunately I had a fantastic teacher – the lovely Natalie from Faircake, London), creating a pretty ombre effect to the arrangement.

Beautiful to look at, the roses have a gorgeous vanilla scent and are delicious to eat. I think a cupcake bouquet makes the perfect birthday present. Happy birthday Fabric HQ and wishing you many more.
