Wow thank you! They were such fun to make too. Wish I could share them, but they are all long ago eaten :D . Lots of great competition this year (Blooie you should get a special mention for creativeness)
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 why I did cupcakes - can't ice a regular cake. Used about 2 1/2 pounds of butter making buttercream frosting :sick hope that I learned not to lick the bowl! There are some amazing videos on Youtube showing how to do flowers, some of those people are awesome.
