Prep time: 1 hour
You will need:
3 different sized iced cakes
Apricot jam
White Icing
Ribbon
2.5 biscuit cutter
STEP 1: Mount the cake
Glue together you tiers of cake using apricot jam.
STEP 2: Make the icing roses
Roll out the icing to a 0.5cm thickness. Cut out five circles from the icing using biscuit cutters. These should be about two inches in diameter. Then make an icing stem about 1.5 inches long. Apply some water to the stem and stick it along the diameter of one of the icing circles and roll it up.
STEP 3: Add the petals to the roses
Stick on another petal using a spot of water and roll it around the icing flower, pinching it in the middle. Add two more petals in the same way as the first one. Gently open the petals with a knife and chop off the stem. Continue making the roses in the same way until you have enough to decorate your cake.
STEP 4: Stick on the roses
Pipe a spot of icing onto each rose and stick them onto the layered cake.
