How I made this beautiful realistic rose pot cake 😍😍

well, first of all, it's all about planning.👇

The very first step I did was planing my cakes' appearance and its stability.

1. Making the roses

Well as I started my project the first thing was to make edible flowers. I used sugar paste for making my edible flowers and leaves.

I have used thin wires in the gauge of 22 and 24 for the sugar roses and leaves.

 I made the roses separately one by one, petal by petal. Oh yes, it took me days to make them. Unless it is a dry warm date, keeping and preserving them will be really challenging. The same goes for the leaves.

well after the completion of my sugar roses and leaves, it was the time to assemble them in the way I wanted my rose stem to be bloomed on my cake

I used floral tapes and a thick wire with a considerable gauge to make the stem of my rose plant while attaching my small branches one by one until I get my desired rose plant.

tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......................................

Ok this was my plan about stabilizing my rose plant on my cake

As the rose tree is heavier than it looks it won't stand its own unless we give it some support. So this structure is going to help my cute little rose baby to stand-alone herself without falling apart tearing my pot away. 

Now that the structure of my cake is done along with my cute little rose plant. It's time to make the pot

I used 4 pounds of vanilla butter cake in the colors of pink and apple green to make my cake.

As I decide my cake to be less sweetened I used dark chocolate ganache as my frosting for my pot.

I stacked my cake in the shape of a pot increasing the diameters of the cake layers as it goes up.

But I made sure to give some extra inches for the topmost part which appears as a crease made out of clay in a real pot.  As you can see there is a tiny piece of my structure still visible on top of the cake but it doesn't matter at all. 

Finally, I covered my whole cake with dark chocolate ganache and I taped my rose plant to the structure to make it more stable and less messy which then covered the structure completely and started looking like a real rose plant grown on the cake pot. I added some chocolate biscuit crumbs as soil to feed my sugar roses while they bloom on my cake pot. 

here comes the final result
