The petals are not "hard" as such, just firm, and they give way to the knife easily. hope this helps!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13275384849577316966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8949931881031387563.post-3238198749989531172012-11-24T13:05:18.904-05:002012-11-24T13:05:18.904-05:00how do you cut this cake?how do you cut this cake?Marlubluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00015077802035734508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8949931881031387563.post-22580976012168882952012-11-06T16:46:52.914-05:002012-11-06T16:46:52.914-05:00Excellent questions! your best bet is definately t...Excellent questions! your best bet is definately to use caster sugar, because icing sugar will not work as far as I know. The caster sugar gives it a lovely frosted look. Th icing sugar will be thick and weigh the petals down to much and may get gluggy. I made my rose petals well in advance, to ensure that they were stiff and well dried when I started arranging them on the cake. Depending upon the climate the drying process can take from a few hours to a day or so, so its a good idea to make them well before you need them. I left a few petals off and they were still edible even after a few weeks! the colour does eventually change though, after about 4 days or so, they darken. I hope this has been helpful for you! and good luck, its actually easier than it looks:) and it doesnt look like a rose until the end, so dont lose heart! Let me know how it turns out!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13275384849577316966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8949931881031387563.post-60104823509666531892012-11-05T21:58:51.538-05:002012-11-05T21:58:51.538-05:00Looks beautiful!

I'm making this cake on the weekend and this is the best picture I've seen of it( I have a black n white print to replicate ) And colour helps- is it better with icing sugar or caster sugar? How long do the roses las? I plan to make them 2 days in advance - is that sensible?
