Seriously you could sell those!

Thanks, it was a new venture and I was quite shocked at how they turned out

Did you use those Russian piping tips on some of them?

Yes, the tulips.

Amazing even in close up!

 

[DigMyChicks]

Yes, the tulips.

Very nice! I’ve looked at them on Amazon. I’ve wondered how well they work. Did you use American buttercream?

 

[Blooie]

Yes, the tulips.

That’s incredible!

Yes, the one that uses only butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Makes a very stiff frosting which is what you need for the flowers to stand up. If it was too stiff I used a tiny little bit of water to smooth it out.

That’s what I thought. My sister in law tried to make them and her frosting was too wet so they didn’t look nice.

Well be shocked no more! But don't let anyone see what you can do if you don't want them beating a path to your door for fancy cupcakes for some event or other!

I agree! "For some event or another", like Mother's Day, which is just around the corner. You'd have orders coming in like crazy just for that one event!

I am squarely in the cake-as-a-vehicle-for-frosting camp, and the frosting was delicious. I know that because I ate way too much of it.
