This was a cake that I made, strictly so I could practice on my buttercream decorations. It's a white velvet cake, with mint buttercream. The design is loosely based from some cake designs I've seen in a 1985 Wilton Cake Yearbook...I just love the way they looked :)

Plus, I wanted to practice making buttercream roses, which I'm horrible at making - fondant roses are much easier for me to make, but this was great practice :)
