Birthday Bouquet Cookie

I created this birthday bouquet cookie for my sister-in-law, with royal icing ribbon roses. I wish I could have given it to her in person, alas she lives overseas in the Netherlands.  I love you, Ellen!

Ribbon Roses Cake

Charlie is a chocolate lover.  When her mother approached me for her 14th birthday cake, she told me it  had to be all chocolate.  Even a layer of fruit preserves would be considered too healthy!  So, chocolate it was - Chocolate Butter Cake with Whipped Milk Chocolate Ganache!  I added these adorable ribbon roses, made out of 50/50 gum paste/homemade fondant, in Charlie's favourite colour.  Happy Birthday Charlie!
