I did this cake for a photo shoot. I decided to do a smaller two tier (8 & 10-inch). I started with one idea, then decided to do a grapevine fall theme cake, I had some lighter purple roses and red berries to add to the top and base of the cake plateau. I frosted the top tier in chocolate BC, and bottom tier on white BC for contrast, then i free-handed the vine looking strands with #4 and #3 tip in layers. this cake was real inside,i did orange-almond for the bottom tier and chocolate for the top tier, so i could feed the photographers.
