Flowers

In my cake decorating class we're learning how to make full blown roses out of frosting. It's lots of fun to see how you cane make frosting look like a flower. I'm getting better at it and my hand is getting stronger; it takes a lot of hand muscle to squeeze stiff frosting out of a pastry bag.
We also learned how to do rose buds. They're one of my favorites to do cause they're easy and are super cute! I did these on some cupcakes just for fun and we took them to our ward basket ball game to give them away cause like I said in the last post, we're sick of cake. :)
A neat trick I learned in my class if that you can make these flowers with a Hershey Kiss as a base. That way your rose is a little better tasting if you really wanted to eat it, other wise it would be a mouth full of frosting, yuck!
