For my Grandma's 89th birthday, I wanted to create a nice cake but didn't have a lot of extra time and didn't have access to all of my cake decorating supplies and decorations. I decided to challenge myself and think of a simple design. First I baked a homemade lemon cake, filled with fresh homemade lemon curd, and whipped up some lemon cream cheese icing. I did happen to have a large star tip, so I covered the top of the cake with piped roses by making a tight clockwise circle for the center of the rose, and then looping around once or twice more. For added fanciness, I used a small straight edged spatula to drag up the sides of the cake, and sprinkled the roses on top with fresh grated lemon rind to tie everything together and add more color.
Here's my Grandma Nina. Happy 89th birthday.!!
