Course One final

My final cake for course one. It was supposed to have twice as many roses on the top, but I was having such a hard time making them that my instructor took pity on me and suggested spacing them out and filling the gaps with petal-y looking sweet peas. AND he made half the roses trying to show me how to do it. I could have chosen a different design for my final, but I chose this one because I *knew* I needed to practice the damn rose. Ugh! Still, white on white was a very forgiving color scheme and most people I showed this to in person insisted that all the roses were beautiful. But perhaps they were just being polite.

 

I also rushed the shell border because people were cleaning up and I had just started it. And I don't like the vertical stripes.

 

Always more room for improvement!
