Fake Cake

As some of you know I instruct cake decorating on the weekends.  I wanted to make some display cakes for the school and this was my first attempt at it.  This is a buttercream frosted half circle of Styrofoam.  I took a photo of if before it got put in the glass display case. The rose technique I used is the ribbon rose, which is a traditional rose that I teach in my introduction to decorating classes.
