How do I make little roses from frosting for a cake?! Please help ASAP! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Hi!!! I'm looking to make roses out of frosting for a cake that I'm making. Please let me know how to do it and what tools you think I'll need! Also, what type of frosting would be good? (I'm assuming that I need a pretty stiff/firm frosting.)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I'll pick a best answer TONIGHT!

Oh crap! I forgot the picture! I would like to make something like these:

Sorry, all I can say is good luck. I could show you in 30 seconds. Cut a bunch of little squares of wax paper, about 3 inches square or so. Stick one onto a flower nail with a dot of buttercream. Take your bag of buttercream and take the tip off so the BC comes out of the coupler. Make a blob of BC about one inch high and as wide as the opening of the coupler is. This is the base of your rose. Make several of these on the squares of wax paper; put them in the fridge or the freezer to firm up. Screw the rose tip in the coupler onto the bag. Hold the flower nail in one hand, with the square of wax paper with the blob on it. Place the narrower tip of the rose tip (it looks like a comma) against the base of the blob, and slowly and carefully with the bag lifted a bit off the base of the blob, make about 3 or 4 upside down U's aroud the blob. Pull the bag back. Now starting about in the middle of each U, make a series of more U's around the rose, angling the bag slightly outward so your petals fan out. Continue to do this until your rose is the size you need. Store in the freezer on their little wp squares until you actually put them on the cake. They need to remain cold to hold their shape. The roses in your picture were created directly on the cupcakes, but you're making a cake, so you'll need a flower nail, bags and couplings, a rose tip, a leaf tip and some plain writing tips and good food coloring. The stuff you buy in the supermarket does not produce dark or bright colors. If you want deep red (or orange or yellow) roses, you'll have to pick up some paste or powder food coloring wherever you get your bags and tips. Otherwise, your flowers will be pale pastels. And then you can will the paste food coloring to your grandchilren because it lasts longer than you will. You can buy this stuff at a good crafts store or baking supply house if there's one around. Buttercream frosting works just fine, but make sure there are no sugar crystals in the buttercream itself or they'll just clog up the tip and drive you crazy. It doesn't have to be stiff if you're piping roses, as long as you can freeze them.

Roses are NOT for beginners and cannot be learned or done in a hurry. They take patience, practice and skill. Your roses may be somewhat flat and wide. Take heart. They'll still be beautiful. Good, good, good luck to you!
