Patisserie cake wip - finished

Remember my La Patisserie cake wip? I finished the next cake.

I am really pleased with the result:

For the cake plate, I used a combination of these two greens.  I used the whipped running stitch to give the cake plate a decorative edge.   

I used two different pinks on this project.  A light pink for the cake and a darker pink for the cake decorations:

You can really see the color difference here:

I used three strands of floss for the cake body, and six strands for the top of the cake:

I stitched all the decorations using six strands of the dark pink, then I switched back to only three strands to do the very top of the rose.

You can see here the smaller line of stitching that using just three strands gives:

All the stitching is done and I washed out the blue transfer lines:

Now I am going to start on another one! 

Here are the floss colors and numbers I used for this project:
