You’ll find the recipe for the cupcakes, frosting, and all the information you need to replicate these rose frosted cupcakes. 
  how to frost a rose cupcake @createdbydiane

I love the pretty pink color and the smooth texture of this frosting, pink frosting is by far my favorite color, but luckily you can make your rose cupcakes in any color you would like, beige and cream color frosting really look pretty on cupcakes as well. Remember just a little color goes a long way!

Be sure to take a look at the how-to video I made so that you could easily replicate these cupcakes with rose frosting yourself. It will help you master these beauties!

One of my favorite memories as a kid is pink frosting. It’s funny how memories can linger on forever!

My mom made me a cake with pink frosting for one of my birthdays.

WOW was it pretty…

I remember every detail! I remember watching her pipe the edges and I appreciated the time it took her to make my cake so pretty.

I was all about PINK then (my whole room was pink including the carpet) and some things haven’t changed. My favorite color frosting is still pink.

Rose frosting looks good in so many colors you’ll have to give your favorite color a try and looks great on vanilla cupcakes or chocolate cupcakes! The recipe for this smooth silky American Buttercream Frosting is in the recipe card below.

If you like pink frosting don’t miss seeing this Pink Coconut Cake and my Fruity Pebbles Cake and these adorable Russian Rose Cupcakes, these have tiny roses all over them!

There is a lot of info in this post, including the recipes for my creamy buttercream frosting as well as cupcake recipes, tips tricks, and how-to. I’ve also updated this post with my cupcake guide, so be sure to check it all out!

My top 3 must-have cupcake baking items:

  • THIS is my favorite cupcake pan
  •  THESE  are my favorite cupcake liners 
  •  THESE  are the piping bags I use 

 

One of the best things about frosting cupcakes in pretty roses (or rosettes) is that it only takes a few seconds to frost each cupcake and once you get the hang of it you’ll be surprised how quickly you can a whole batch of cupcakes.

When you have a whole tray of cupcakes in front of you, with a few practice swirls you will be frosting roses in no time at all.

There are many reasons why these cupcakes are my all-time favorite,  I love chocolate cupcakes and pink frosting the contrast in colors is so pretty.

The dark liners on the cupcakes give them a really nice finished look. I like these Dark Brown Liners.

If you bake (or craft) a lot and often run out of counter space try THIS, rack it’s a real space saver I use it all the time for cookies, cupcakes, and even when we work when putting together puzzles, I spread out puzzle pieces onto baking sheets and stack them up to see everything easily!

Here is a great set of piping bags along with piping tips.

A few tips when frosting these cupcakes:

  • practice on a piece of wax paper or the bottom of a cupcake pan, so you can scrape off the frosting and place it back into your frosting bowl and use it when you ar frosting your cupcakes. If the frosting gets warm from practicing, place it in the fridge for 5 minutes, you don’t want it cold, but you don’t want it warm either.
  • keep a damp towel nearby so you can wipe off the piping tip if it gets messy, don’t start piping if it’s already messy, it will only get worse as you pipe on the cupcakes
  • start in the same position of each cupcake, don’t reach over cupcake you’ll be more likely to mess them up. Move the tray of cupcakes or move your body so you’re in front of what you are doing. If your kitchen counter is too high, try your table.
  • you don’t need to pick up each cupcake, yes I do that in my video, so you can see what I’m doing. It is easier to place all the cupcakes on a baking sheet and pipe them that way. This method also avoids you handling each one after it’s piped.
  • If you do mess up on frosting a cupcake, don’t worry, just swirl it smooth with a spatula and add some sprinkles. Having some difference in a whole tray of cupcakes often adds interest and who doesn’t love some fun sprinkles!

 

How to decorate a Rose Cake @createdbydiane
 
This is one of my favorite cakes, it’s not only pretty it tastes AMAZING! There are different varieties of vanilla and it got RAVE reviews when I served it at a wedding!
 
  • When piping roses on a cake, you can either pipe them all flat, in a grid and even overlap them slightly or you can pipe them as I did, like in a bunch, the way you would see a grouping of roses in a vase, just reposition your hand so it’s at a different angle when piping and move around the cake when piping so it’s not in a specific pattern.
  • If there is a space where there is no rose and really not enough room to add one, just squeeze the frosting to create a dollop to fill in any open areas.
  • Take a look at the entire post here: Vanilla Wedding Cake
 
 
red white blue cupcakes @createdbydiane
 
 
These red, white, and blue cupcakes are fun and pretty.
 
Just take a box of white cake mix (or use this recipe for white cake) and separate the batter into three bowls and tint one red and one blue, leaving the third white.
 
Place the batter into plastic bags to make filling the cupcake pan easy and layer the batter in the cupcake pan, baking according to directions and allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
Classic white frosting looks great on these as well.
 
If you want your frosting bright white, you can add some White Food Coloring, it works great!
 
 
 
Red White and Blue Cupcakes Tricolor rose frosting @createdbydiane #july4 #patriotic #cupcake

To create the tri-color frosting:

In one piping bag, from the tip to the end of the bag place each color of frosting carefully not to swirl them,
 
but keep them in lines do the red and blue on each outside edge and put white in the middle,
 
they will swirl when you pipe them and look great!
 
Alternately you can place the frosting on a piece of plastic wrap in lines and then gently roll the plastic wrap into a log and insert it into a piping bag. Then add on the piping tip and you’re all set to decorate the cupcakes.

The most often asked questions on frosting rose cupcakes:

  • What piping tip do you use: 2D piping tip…. (if you like seeing more of my favorite items look HERE)
  • Can I use another tip: yes, but the roses will look different. The 2D tip is a curved star tip with 6 prongs. You can PURCHASE the tip HERE
    This is the “nozzle” used to pipe the rose cupcakes, I find people searching for what piping tip to use to frost rose cupcakes, and what piping tip to use to frost rose cupcakes, and buttercream rose nozzle to find out what tip to use. It’s the 2D tip!
  • What recipe do you use for your frosting: the recipe is below as is easy to print, it provides creamy frosting perfect for piping onto cakes and cupcakes.
  • Where is your Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe HERE just click here to print.
    Here is my Small Batch Chocolate Cupcake Recipe (6 cupcakes)
  • You’ll find my Vanilla Cupcake Recipe HERE
    Small Batch Vanilla Cupcake Recipe (6 cupcakes)
  • And my favorite Italian Buttercream Frosting Recipe HERE: this frosting is not as sweet as “American” buttercream, it’s my favorite tasting frosting, it’s a softer frosting so it’s not the best if you plan on serving them outside in the summer. Otherwise, if you are an intermediate baker, this frosting is a must. It’s not a beginner frosting, you’ll need a candy thermometer, you’ll be whipping eggs, and also making syrup. But it’s so yummy and worth learning.

I also have a fun recipe for chocolate red-wine cupcakes that you could frost with a rose on top for a delicious and elegant dessert.

Buttercream Frosting Recipe

Prep time

Total time

an easy recipe for American buttercream frosting, and options for hot weather. Great for cakes, cupcakes, to top cookies and fill desserts with.
Author: Diane Schmidt - Created by Diane
Recipe type: Frosting
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter
  • 4-6 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
  1. Beat butter until smooth add powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream.
  2. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. If it's HOT outside and I don't want the icing to flop I either mix 1/2 butter 1/2 shortening or all shortening.
  4. Adjust powdered sugar if you add a lot of food coloring or extracts.
  5. For very white frosting, use all shortening, and add a few drops of Americolor white food coloring.
Notes
There are different brands of shortening, some are thicker and heavier than others. Depending on what consistency you want, choose accordingly.
Crisco tends to be heavy and thick,
Walmart's store brand is light and fluffy.
There are also differences in butter, some stay thick and some are softer when whipped.
All these differences will affect the final outcome of your frosting.
I often make the frosting a day ahead of time along with the cupcakes, but pipe the frosting the day I'm serving the cupcakes.

This frosting recipe is delicious with vanilla added this is one of my favorite vanillas,
I also love coconut, almond, and this lemon flavor but mostly if the cupcakes are vanilla.

    I think that was great! What I took from your video was that I should be frosting the cupcakes while they're in my hand, rather than while they're on the table. It made all the difference in the "flow" of the rose. Simple to some, but for whatever reason it hadn't occurred to me to do that! thanks, Diane

      I just swiped each colol on the opposite sides od the piping bag, leaving the center to mix together on it’s own. The buttercream recipe I use is 1 cup butter to 4 or 5 cups powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons milk and a teaspoon vanilla. For white frosting use shortening and clear vanilla. If it’s hot when you make frosting or you think it will be too soft just use shortenin, sometimes I use half butter half shortening, depends on how I want it to taste and the weather:) hope that helps let me know if you need more info. -Diane

    Diane- I am eager to try your roses for a baby shower this weekend! You mentioned that I should use shortening for the icing if the weather is hot. How much? Do you just substitute it for the amount you would have used for the butter? Also have you ever used butter flavor shortening? Curious.

    Reply
    • Diane says

      June 19, 2012 at 5:19 pm

      Hi Esther,
      Yes substitute equal parts shortening for butter. You can do 1/2 butter 1/2 shortening, or all shortening.
      I do not like the taste of butter flavor shortening and it’s very yellow, so if you need white or a light color the yellow will effect it. You can certainly add extracts to give a different flavor, lemon, orange, almond, raspberry, mint. The possibilities are endless there.

    Reply
    • Diane says

      January 28, 2013 at 11:40 am

      no the sugar should not be gritty, are you using powdered/confectioners sugar? it’s sounds like you’re using granulated sugar. Powdered sugar is super fine and fluffy. If when you are making it the icing is on the dry side add a bit of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon, not to much or it will become soupy. Let me know what kind of sugar you are using and we’ll try to problem solve and find out what is going wrong. Are you mixing it with a mixer? Is the butter at room temperature?

    • renad says

      January 30, 2013 at 12:03 pm

      hello again, the sugar i use is icing sugar ,i even sometimes grind it myself to make sure sugar is fine, ,and butter at room temperature, and i use a mixer ,well sugar is not gritty but you can feel it , little crunchy which i don’t like it ,i wish you can help me with this matter, thank you

    • Diane says

      January 30, 2013 at 11:20 pm

      I consider icing sugar to be the same as powdered sugar and it has the same consistency as powder not gritty at all and would melt on your tongue.
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powdered_sugar
      If that is the type of icing sugar you are using and you still feel you are getting a gritty texture, you could add a bit more heavy cream to it.
      Another option is a different frosting. Italian Buttercream is a buttery type of frosting, less sweet and silky smooth. Here is my post on Italian Buttercream https://www.createdby-diane.com/2012/12/how-to-make-italian-buttercream-frosting.html
      If you’d like more help, please let me know. You could reduce the amount of sugar you are using and see if that helps. I am thinking it’s the type of sugar. I linked to a photo of powdered sugar.
      The Italian Buttercream Frosting may be the way to go 🙂
      Hope that is somewhat helpful.

    Can you do the rose technique with a chocolate ganache? I want to make this espresso cupcake with a dark chocolate ganache, but the only way to make it pretty is to put the ganache on nice. I wanted to decorate it, but with it being so dark, I am finding a hard way to without adding another flavor component.

      no chocolate ganache won’t work in a piping bag. Here is a cupcakes I made with ganache, then added frosting on top of. Maybe this is what you wre looking for. You could pipe the frosting on top of the ganache like a rose. https://www.createdby-diane.com/2011/01/hot-fudge-sundae-cupcakes.html

    I am curious what food coloring, brand and color you used to get the beautiful pink color you used in your instruction video and photos?

      I use Americolor food coloring. It’s available at cake/baking supply stores as well as Amazon if you are unable to find it near you. Those roses were made with soft pin and egg yellow. The colors deepen the long the frosting rests (keep that in mind when mixing)

    How weird. I had NO idea it was this easy to do. My grandma used to frost roses and other flowers on all her cakes, and I don’t ever remember her telling me how she did it.

    Thanks for the video 🙂 Know what my next cupcakes are going to look like 🙂

      These roses are way easier that piping each petal of a rose, which is a more traditional way of piping roses. Hope you enjoy them!

      I always laugh when I get comments like yours. It’s my website and I’ll write what I like, after 10 years of writing this blog it never ceases to amaze me that someone would take the time to make a snide comment instead of building others up, there are always those types of people that like to tear things down. It’s not that hard to scroll to the point you want to read, or read faster, or skim a post to get to the information you’d like.
      Wishing you a wonderful day!
