February Birthday for Grandma

February finally rolled around and there was yet another birthday to celebrate. This time it was my husband's grandma who was turning 78 so Derek's cousin, HyeWon, suggested that we surprise her with a cake. We decided to experiment with a new kind of frosting by mixing in whipped cream with regular buttercream. The frosting tasted great, but it certainly melted faster than typical buttercream. I will have to search out a better whipped cream frosting for next time. 
My favorite part of making this cake was getting to do it with HyeWon. I taught her how to make roses and she picked it up quickly and did a great job. 

It was also HyeWon's idea to add the cute vines around the roses as well. They added just the right touch.
