I had no intentions of making a Rose Cake. I was actually planning on doing a tutorial for this cake, but something happened.
I was so inspired by the whimsical beauty of the MacKenzie-Childs products, I just couldnt help myself! Since I knew the interior was a checkboard design, I thought the soft Rosette’s would be the perfect compliment.
In addition the the cake interior, the Rose’s seemed a perfect compliment to the beautiful cake stand the cake was sitting on.
To pipe the rose’s I followed my Original Rose Cake Tutorial.
For the interior I slightly modified my Vertical Layer Cake Tutorial. I made the layers white and a pale yellow, trying to replicate the same design that is on the cake stand and accessories.
Then, instead of placing the same color layers directly on top of each other, I just switched out the layers to make a checkerboard pattern. SO easy! Of course, you can always buy the checkerboard pan too. 😉
Wouldn’t this cake be fun customized to your favorite colors? Maybe a favorite football team for a Superbowl party? I love the idea of adding a bit of a feminine touch to the party!

That cake is so beautiful; I’m so impressed!
This cake is simply stunning!
Definitely a cake stand, or two from Mackenzie Child for my beautiful rosé cake!
I really like the Antique White Round Mirror but honestly everything on that site is amazing.
Your cake is breathtaking, I wish I had that talent.
That is the most beautiful cake, I have been in love with Mackenzie Childs everything, I even registered for wedding items, 20 yrs ago!
You are really amazing! Every time I see another one of your creations, I want to try it. I tried using a checkerboard pan to put a cross in the middle of a cake, but the colors did not stay sharp. The mixes floated together. Gee I wish cakes were calorie free.
