Roses aren’t just for your bouquet. They can turn a plain cake into a masterpiece, make an eye-catching centerpiece, add a sweet touch to favors, or make a meal a little more special.
Red Rose Cake
A pristine white cake, piped with tiny beads around each tier, is sprinkled with a flutter of red rose petals.
Bowl of Blossoms
Simple and sublime, ‘Inge’ and ‘Toscanini’ roses float in an old-fashioned fishbowl and in votives to mark each place setting; the votives can be taken home as favors.
Black Rose Centerpiece
If the effusive ranunculus and garden roses are the stars of this centerpiece, the peach calla lilies, ruffly bottlebrush grevillea, dinner-plate dahlias, spindly spider lilies, and vintage velvet swirls are their lovely supporting players.
A Rose with Your Coffee
A dainty rose petal makes the perfect dish for a sugar cube awaiting a cup of coffee, tea, or espresso. These pale-pink rose petals are subtle and feminine, but any favorite blossom can be used, provided it’s organic and nontoxic. Pluck petals from the flower, and set one sugar cube onto each.
