Cake Attempts #5 & 6

So, obviously it's been a little while. Not having to make a cake for class has taken all my motivation out of cake decorating. It is just really hard to take the time to make everything, not to mention cleaning up afterwards, when there is no real purpose to it. However, today was a challenging day and I needed some stress relief.
I wanted to practice my roses, so the first cake I made was a floral one. Oh, and the red frosting? I wasn't thinking about the floral cake when I tinted the frosting, only the Halloween one. So forgive the clashing color scheme. Overall, my roses turned out awesome and my leaves were simple and neat. All in all, a cake well done. Given a different base frosting color, I would not hesitate to give this to a neighbor or friend. Proud.
Now, the Halloween cake I mentioned. I absolutely love this cake. One of my favorites. You may remember the skeleton, aka scary bones, I did on the cupcake a while back. This time I wanted him to have eyes and a smile. I ran out of white frosting, so I just left those negative spaces and I love the effect. I drew some freestyle bats in the background and wrote some Halloween sayings around the edge. It has been pointed out to me that I have spelled "cackle" wrong, but on a cake that is solely for myself I am ok with that. Don't worry, if you ask me to do a cake for you I would surely spellcheck beforehand. Oh, my favorite part. I forget the name of the technique, it is supposed to look kind of lacy. That was tons of fun to do, but my favorite part is the bones that line the bottom of the cake. Just plain cute. What do you think??
