Wedding Cake with Roses

Well let me start out by saying, what was I thinking? I don't bake cakes and for some reason I volunteered myself to my sister-in-law for her wedding cake and I said I can do that???? So, after many trial and error cakes, I came out with the above cake shown. I made my homemade buttercream and the cake itself was a french vanilla with buttercream filling. My sister-in-law wanted it very traditional and plain and was it ever the most moist delicious cake ever (not to toot my own horn, but yummo!) I had people coming to me at the wedding asking how much I charge and do I make cakes for a living,so now I have my sister's cake and my mom's wedding cake to do this year.Yikes! It took about ten hours to bake and a total of four days to finish the cake the process was very exhausting, but payed off in the end. The cake was, by far, not perfect but she loved it and I thought that it wasn't bad for the first try.
