My ma LOVES buttercream roses, but I'm no pro so when she asked me to make her a pistaschio birthday cake, I mimmicked a cake I previously made for one of my daughters, but used three shades of green for the frosting. She was so happy, and that's all I can hope for.
I took these pictures on the picnic table outside trying to capture some natural light, but it wasn't working out too well for me.
