Lisa's 50th Birthday cake

This is Lisa's 50th birthday cake.  She had her birthday on the Ladies Retreat for our church.  Daybreak Community Church  I made the cakes at home, and made about a hundred royal icing roses in advance to put on the cake.  I drove up with the cakes unstacked in carriers, and the roses in egg cartons to reduce breakage.  The evening we got there I was able to put the roses and leaves on in about two hours.  The moral of this cake is that you should not use gel colors to write on vertical surfaces!  It started dripping down immediately, and by the next morning one of the "p's" was touching the bottom border.
