Thanks, Denise :o)  If you strain very hard, you can barely tell that the bottom two rows are a little darker than the next two.

Sandra, I can see that the top row of rosette are a lighter shade than the other rows. Girl, you're being way too hard on yourself. This is a beautiful cake!!!

Thanks, Denise.  I sliced it and put in on plates and am taking it, right now, to share with the folks at my dentist's office and the veterinarian's office.  I had a tiny piece and it was delicious.  Hate to give it all away, but I am trying to get some of the "quit smoking" fat off my butt!  Wish I could have shared a for- real piece with you.

Now that things are settled down from the wknd I can give my undivided attention to this beautiful cake & the others. Sandra, it sounds absolutely delicious. Your rosettes came out beautiful & your roses are   flawless. All the colors blend together beautifully. I know you put a lot of work into this & I thank you again for it & your thoughtfulness.

Thank you, Inoka!  Gali and Katy think it looks like a pineapple, and I agree.  Don't you?

Wow Sandra, Soooo pretty, your roses are great. Very nice

Thanks, Katy.  Gali said the same thing...when you use the right tip, it just works.  I am not going to hold my breath, but I hope so.  I thought this would be easy and it WAS NOT!  I like the idea of the "pineapple", too.  Told Gali I was going to keep it :o)

Sorry - didn't read all the posts properly!  You already know about the tip lol!

Comment by Katy Nott on November 21, 2014 at 2:40pm

Sandra, it's a 1M  or 2D you need.  You will be amazed at how well the rosettes come out with the right tip - almost impossible to mess up!  But I do see what Gail means by the pineapple look - actually very effective as that!
