Mom's Birthday Rose Cake

Since my mom loves flowers, especially roses, I decided to make her a classic rose cake for her birthday. The cake itself is a triple layer lemon cake with lemon curd filling and lemon cream cheese frosting. The borders are done in the lemon cream cheese frosting and the roses were hand made from fondant. It was my first time making fondant roses and it was quite the experience. It was a hot afternoon so the fondant was having a hard time sticking, it was as if it was melting in my hand. I am sure that the more I try to make them and work on them the better they will turn out. I had one happy mama for a birthday girl with this cake.
