White Chocolate Cranberry Birthday Cake

         In our Family, Holidays are extended by certain someone's ( mine ) birthday. It allows me to make another cake and spoil everybody just a bit more.

              I spent days trying to decide on the flavors and decor. Until my Hubby said I should just take my favorite flavors and make them into a cake. Yes!

              So, here it is: vanilla cake, white chocolate buttercream frosting, cranberry filling and white chocolate roses.


        Perfect for a birthday in the midst of Winter. White frosting matches the outdoors and cranberries are still in season ( or in few bags in my freezer :) ).
      
      

    
               Now onto the roses. Oh, those roses! The white chocolate's creamy hue makes them a perfect decoration for this time of year. And they look quite real, don't you think?
               The white chocolate roses are my new favorite cake topper idea. I was blown away by how easy the are to make and how beautiful they look.

               The vanilla cake is Sweetapolita's Classic Vanilla Cake. The white chocolate buttercream is Wilton's recipe. For a filling I used my cranberry jam.

         I also added little white chocolate flowers around the edge of the cake. Aren't they adorable? :)

          Here is the inside view. I apologize for the quality of the photo, but the natural daylight was long time gone. :)

             I hope you will like my cake as much as I did. It is my new favorite, flavors and all!

Enjoy!
