Peace Rose

Making a rose out of sugarpaste is the biggest challange; and then once you have achieved a nice looking one, it is then quite difficult to make another exactly the same!  After admiring some cakes in a magazine with yellowy pink roses, I decided to have a go at making one myself.  The garden rose I used to model my rose is called "Peace" and is creamy yellow with pink edges.  I've put it in a vase with some pink silk roses and I'm quite pleased with the result.  Now all I have to do is make another one the same!!!!
