Roses.

So I reached a new achievement today while decorating some cupcakes to take to my MUN group this week. The ones for them are just valentine themed, but with the extra icing and leftover cupcakes, I got a bit creative.

I remember seeing an online tutorial (all pictures, alas) on how to do icing roses, but never really did anything with it (I don't usually use pink icing). Well, today was the day to try it.

And holy cats are they adorable.

Basically the technique is the same as I normally do, but instead of starting on the edge and spiraling in, I started in the middle and spiraled out. Some looked a bit funny, but some were awesome!

I gave this one leaves to enhance the effect.
