Rose Bush Wedding Cake Pops – Yum!!!
When a lovely bride commissioned these little rosebush cake pops, I was so excited – they were to tie in with her personalised Doll’s house and garden themed wedding. The idea was that guests placed their gifts into the doll’s house and next to the house were the little rose bushes all in different pastels to match her wedding colours – all 175 looked so cute lined up ready to be packed.
At first, I think I may have underestimated how long these little rose bush cake pops would take with 11 roses on each of the 175 rose bushes made a total of 1,925 tiny sugar paste roses – AND they needed to be coloured with edible metallic paint…so I set to work…The quandary was whether to paint the mini roses for the rose bush cake pops before or after they were stuck to the cake pops…I tried both as I wanted these wedding cake pops to be perfect – the final verdict was in favour of sticking them to the rose bush cake pops AFTER sticking them on rather than hand painting each one first and risk getting more paint on me than the roses!!
What a lovely idea for a wedding though – if you are having a cake made of cheese, why not have something alternative for those with a sweet tooth. I look forward to my next wedding commission – maybe a wedding cake or some beautiful personalised wedding favours to decorate the tables with…
