Aha! This is my second cake I have ever made and I'm really quite proud of it. It's for my mom. For her birthday. The white roses in the middle are the second and third that I've made. I'll get better at them, but they look alright. And one of the things that I'm most proud of is that I was asked if it was made of fondant. That's right! It was so smooth it looked like fondant. It's not! It's buttercream. What is my secret? Well, it's all in keeping the spatula warm so that it doesn't stick to the frosting, but ends up kind of melting the frosting to make it look so smooth. The inside is a lemon cake with a raspberry filling. I can't wait to eat it.
