This lovely piece begins simply enough. A single large round tier is iced in brilliant white, and a trim of lavender is applied near the base. A double-scallop motif is meticulously added to the top of the cake. A bed of spring-green leaves is prepared to accept the hand-crafted roses that will take center stage, in this design. The color of a rose can have many meanings, but traditionally, the yellow rose is the symbol of deep friendship. They signify a strong bond and deep trust. Pink roses denote appreciation and sincere appreciation, and go hand-in-hand with the yellow roses. The lavender rose expresses a deep affinity – sometimes indicating true love at first sight, sometimes a Platonic attachment of great magnitude. Put these all together, and you have an abundance of emotions displayed in a single clutch of beautiful blooms. For any birthday, or special occasion, wherein you wish to let someone know how important they are in your life, you’d be hard-pressed to come up with a better selection than “The Language of Roses.”
