How do I do this rose topper on a wedding cake?

I’m not a professional cake decorator but I’m pretty good and I’m helping to make a wedding cake for a friends wedding. I’m just wondering how to do this real rose topper. I can imagine they’d stick into foam of some kind but gross. Here’s the example.

For the topper, get either a foam circle and cut in half, or one of the ones that are already a half circle. Stick your flowers in there, and lay a piece of wax paper underneath it on the top tier (trace and cut out the wax paper based on the size of the foam). The wax paper will keep the “ickiness” of the foam off of the icing, and the flowers will extend past the wax paper to hide it.

Symbols of Love in Silver – Valentine Jewellery 2011

Valentine’s Day is the time when lovers all over the world declare their love for each other with cards and gifts.
Various objects from life and nature have come to symbolize romantic love, and their images can be found on every present and card on February 14th. And these images can now be found recreated in silver to create beautiful Valentine’s Day jewellery!

The heart is the most recognizable of all these symbols. It has come to signify romantic love all around the world, and the heart symbol is often used to replace the word ‘love’. The human heart was traditionally believed to be the seat of all our emotions, so it is fitting that it should represent the finest emotion. Silver heart jewellery is a traditional gift for your loved-one on Valentine’s Day, giving them a personal gift to treasure forever. And every time they wear it, they will thinking of you, keeping you constantly in their thoughts.

Roses are another symbol of romantic love. Red roses are often used to symbolize passion, and they can be found in abundance on Valentine’s Day! White roses are an emblem of beauty and pure and romantic love, making them the perfect accessory for brides on their wedding day. Silver rose jewellery is an extremely popular trend this Spring, with delicate roses carved in solid silver to create gorgeous rosebloom rings, rose pendants and rosebud earrings.

Birds are also a well-known image in the symbolism of love. Legend has it that on St Valentine’s Day, the birds would come together to choose their mates, reflecting the human interest in the date. Today, various species of birds have different meanings in the symbols of love. Doves are symbolic of deep and spiritual love, and images of them are often used in weddings, even to the extent that many couples now have live doves released at the ceremony. In some cultures, hummingbirds are a symbol of showing love, and of great beauty and intelligence. Lovebirds are a traditional symbol of love, and they get their name from their wonderful behaviour. They have monogamous pairings and can’t live without each other. Lovebirds show great affection to their mates, and will sit together for long periods of time. Birds and nature are once again featuring in jewellery designs this Spring, and great examples of hummingbird chains and vintage lovebird pendants can be found. Oishii even has a  beautiful vintage-style pendant featuring two lovebirds perched on a heart, a perfect gift for Valentine’s Day.

What kind of accessories will fit with this outfit?

I have bought a really nice black dress recently with a grey rose printed across the front which i wear with pale grey tights and black bondage type heels, however im never sure of what accessories will fit with this,
i would especially appreciate any suggestions of the kind of jewellery would suit this, thanks

cute
i’d wear a grey rose corsage in my har, or black, and some grey and black beaded bracelets….i’d skip the necklace because you don’t want to over do it…. maybe a grey or black clutch purse too, ….if the corsage in your hair isn’t really your thing you could wear one of those rings with roses on them, they’re cutee
have fun, <3
