Guns and Roses

First I baked a 7 inch round, 5 inch square and a 4 inch round cake to make up the 3 layers. All 3 were a different flavor. I allowed them to cool thoroughly before slicing layers then putting buttercream and raspberry jam between each layer. once they were assembled I put them in the fridge to further firming up before icing them.

I had coloured each cake accordingly, then covered. I used cake dowels to hold up each tier.

The decorations were made a couple of weeks in advance to allow the royal icing and flower paste to dry thoroughly.

On the middle tier, I piped 5 straight lines with coloured royal icing before putting on the music notes.
