Rose Cake

I made this cake for my friend Diana's Birthday.  She showed me a cake similar to this in a magazine a few weeks ago and told me she thought it was absolutely beautiful. I knew right then that I wanted to make it for her birthday.  I can not remember the magazine for the life of me, but this is the best representation I could do from memory. It's a chocolate cake with vanilla butter cream covered in fondant and fondant swag. The rose and the pearls were made from gum paste and then dusted with pink shimmer dust.
