Coming Up Roses

Pink Rose Cake

March 2007

Some cakes are just for getting together with friends and laughing. I love my fellows class and they seem open to taking cakes off of my hands. Why the celebration? Because I have finally made some progress in mastering the rose and I really love the color on these flowers.

Inside is a dutch chocolate cake with peach-apricot cream filling. I made the filling using an organic apricot jam, some chunky peach preserves and a bit of the vanilla butter cream frosting to make it smooth and creamy. These roses taste much better than eating dirt pies.
