Rose in kulichi? [idle question]

[Peter Scotto]

I was noodling aroung the web looking for paintings by Kustodiev and I came
across a painting that shows a table set for Easter dinner. 

There are two kulichi visible and it looks like they are decorated with roses
(one rose per kulich) with their stems stuck through the white icing on the top.

Anybody ever seen anything like this? Or am I misinterpreting the painting?
