Buttercream Roses

Have tried so many buttercream recipes, watched countless youtubes videos... on nail, cones, straight on the cakes, wooden sticks. Felt miserable, miserable, miserable! Until yesterday.

Told myself, 'Just do it!'. Attempted several times on the nail before actually had the guts to transfer the rose on the cake.


I tried to pipe a rose each on four cupcakes. The left photo is one of them. I piped three roses on the nail (one at a time) and carefully transferred them onto the Moist Choc Cake ordered by Kak Pah. The roses were so senget benget Alya suggested I pipe some leaves around the roses. So in the end, the cake turned out the way it is.

Well Kak Pah, Siti Balqhis' cake had to be the 'test bed'. Thank you for giving me the chance to learn.


I dare say, 'There will be many more buttercream roses to come!".
