Lilacs and Roses

This is a mocha sponge cake with coffee flavoured buttercream icing. I piped the buttercream roses and lilacs- I wish I had the same lovely flowers growing in my garden too.

I have been asked to use hand piped buttercream roses on cakes numerous times. It is so much easier now ever since I used Ateco's rose flower nail.

On an entirely different topic, I like collecting these beautifully designed gift tags. I love the colours and also the designs- most especially the Sweet Treats.
