From the start of icing to the finished product:

- chocolate ganache (semi-sweet chocolate and heavy cream)...very easy to make and pour over the cake for a smooth shiny finish

-Using a round tip, i piped these vines on with light green buttercream icing

- Using a leaf tip, I added the leaves to the vines (if you use a coupler, you can change back and forth from the round tip to the leaf tip and use the same icing bag)

- The night before I covered cardboard with wax paper and made these pink flowers using the flower tip and pink butter cream icing, then left them covered overnight to harden

- A attached the premade flowers with a dot of buttercream icing, and that's it...it's done!
