It's far from perfect, but this was the main reason I wanted to learn how to pipe Russian flowers. This cake is for my grandmother's 90th birthday. The base is traditional Christmas cake, made in October and maturing in spiced rum. The top is a devils food cake. The purple frosting is royal icing and the flowers are Italian meringue buttercream.

I had a small procedure on my shoulder earlier this week, and I'm having carpal tunnel surgery in 3 weeks time. This is the best I could do under these circumstances.
