First attempt at piping roses

I saw some lovely cupcakes made at a cupcake decorating class that were roses. I just had to try!

Unfortunately and stupidly I split the buttercream icing by overmixing the butter (When butter becomes too hot it seperates). If you were just spreading over a cake it doesn’t matter, however it makes a huge difference when piping. I’m upset at myself because I know better and can’t believe I stuffed up buttercream icing!

Anyway… here are the results…

And something a little different since the roses weren’t holding properly…

I gave up with the rest of the cupcakes and just iced them with a knife.
