    In our Family, Holidays are extended by certain someone's ( mine ) birthday. It allows me to make another cake and spoil everybody just a bit more.

    I spent days trying to decide on the flavors and decor. Until my Hubby said I should just take my favorite flavors and make them into a cake. Yes!

    So, here it is: vanilla cake, white chocolate buttercream frosting, cranberry filling and white chocolate roses.

    Perfect for a birthday in the midst of Winter. White frosting matches the outdoors and cranberries are still in season ( or in few bags in my freezer 🙂 ).

    Now onto the roses. Oh, those roses! The white chocolate's creamy hue makes them a perfect decoration for this time of year. And they look quite real, don't you think?
    The white chocolate roses are my new favorite cake topper idea. I was blown away by how easy the are to make and how beautiful they look.

    For a filling I used my cranberry jam.

    I also added little white chocolate flowers around the edge of the cake. Aren't they adorable? 🙂

    Here is the inside view. I apologize for the quality of the photo, but the natural daylight was long time gone. 🙂

    I hope you will like my cake as much as I did. It is my new favorite, flavors and all!

      Pretty! I love that vanilla cake recipe from Sweetapolita. How did you get your white chocolate roses to be so pretty? Mine always crack at the edges.

      Happy Birthday. Mine is fast approaching so feel free to whip one up with pistachios or coconut. Lol! I do not have your mad skills with icing. My piping technique is about equal with a 2 year old trying for the first time with one arm tied behind their back and the other arm in a sling. Seriously!!

        Sweet Kim! No problem! I love baking cakes for others. Besides pistachios or coconut - that would be one divine cake! Thanks for the comment and wishes! Hugs!

      I am not the chocolate lover at home and even if I feel like at times .. I always choose dark chocolate. The husband on the other hand wants and needs only and only white chocolate and when you add vanilla with that .. he would scream YUMMY 🙂
      I am saving this recipe to give a try.

      Good that I've "bumped" into your blog. You have lots of beautiful bakes and would love to follow your blog for more.

      ooo this looks delicious! I've become quite the sucker for cranberries this year. And your roses are gorgeous!

    38. Maggie says

      January 04, 2012 at 6:50 pm

      Happy Birthday Anna! This cake is drop dead gorgeous!! And white chocolate buttercream? Gimme! I was thinking last year that I need to make my own birthday cake this coming year. I usually end up with no birthday cake at all because everyone knows how I abhor store-bought cakes and there aren't any other bakers in my bunch. So, I am going to follow your lead and do this for myself this year. Hope your day was special and beautiful!

      This does look like an elegant as well as delicious cake. Wish we could get together for coffee or tea and sample each others cake. Yours does have some great flavor notes-yum! Also, this cake is decorated nicely-I like the swirls on the side as well as the little flowers. Well done!
