Violet Ombre Rosette Spongecake

I have been thinking of trying to pipe this ombre rosette design for as long as 6 months. Finally got a chance to try it on a birthday cake, actually this design is very romantic it suits a wedding/anniversary/valentine cake better..hahaha... Nevertheless I am glad that my friend loves the cake.

The cake flavor is cranberry, rasberry and strawberry mixed tea sponge cake. Sounds complicated? Not at all, just purchase the Lipton fruit tea in this flavor and infuse 5 tea bags with hot water. Not forgeting to add a pack for dried cranberries to give you the munching goodness while eating the cake.

I never realised to cream a cake needs so much cream...hahaha... I keep making more cream, probably used about 350-400g of frosty whip powder to cream this 8 inch cake. To achieve Ombre Rosette design, use Wilton piping tip 1M. To pipe, start from the center of rose and go rounds. How many rounds would depend on how big you want the flower to be. Try it, it is really easy to pipe using the right tool.

Get romantic with this Ombre Rosette design!
