Description
My final project for Course 1 class 4. We got to design this one with everything we learned, although I did use royal icing which they never said we could/couldn't use...

Chocolate with cherry filling and vanilla frosting. I used a special tool to sculpt the frosting on the outside. It doesn't show much in this pic though. It didn't turn out as fine as it should have anyway as I was very low on frosting and had to keep it thinner than I wanted to.

I got picked on quite a bit from the teacher and some students for this cake, especially after the frosting roses were put on and I started putting on the frosting vines with royal icing flowers. But I got many compliments from them as well so it all works out. I didn't put the border on the bottom until I got home though.

I am a little disappointed with the light green frosting not being as nice as it could be and the fact that I had to use the canned frosting for the roses. It doesn't taste as nice as the homemade icing but it does come out A LOT smoother. Also its a little hard to see but you can sort of make out a tiny spot under one of the pink flowers where cherry pie filling syrup was trying to ooze out. Also I made the mistake of putting leaves around roses as I was laying them on, so instead of having seven roses total I ended up with just six... Oh well...

Other than those little details I must say I am happy with this cake. Can't wait to start course 2 this week...
