A rose is not just a rose when it is lovingly piped onto a frosted cupcake to celebrate a bride-to-be, a sweetheart, or your parents on their anniversary. Besides the realistically replicated blooms, the monochromatic color scheme makes for an ultra-elegant dessert. Or, for a more casual event, pipe the flowers in one color, and frost the cupcakes with another. A flower nail is essential, as you can turn the nail with one hand while piping the roses with the other. The flowers can be refrigerated up to two days before placing them atop cupcakes.
