Creamy Rose Garden - Buttercream classics

I was one of those beginner decorator who really really wanted to learn to make buttercream roses - and good buttercream roses. It all starts with the bud, and i used a dozen or so hersheys kisses as the center stem to practice with! After a few hours, my rose petals got better and better and the hard buttercream got a bit softer and wow... i was loving it! Definately for a 'girly' event, cupcakes with roses will be sure to please anyone. Love the ones from Cakeboxsoc! Using the chocolate cake i think really adds to the affect of the garden... Rose gardens are my favorite now... i can't wait to make some for you! :)

Tip for coloring icing: Pink icing gets brighter the day after, so be sure to make pink icings the day before to make sure you get the saturation you want!
