Hello,

I was hoping someone could tell me how I can make rose cupcakes?
Any tips are greatly appreciated!

use a #1 tip and move aon top of cupcake in a circle...

I believe Nancyg means a tip #1M

I use a 1m tip,and start in the center of the cupcake and circle to the outside edge until its covered. Hope that made sense.

I saw a few tutorial on this very style on Youtube.

Tip 1M for sure I do it all the time, I've heard that tip#2D gives the same effect but I havnt tried it yet

Yes, that is exactly what Nancyg meant.....1 M tip. I just wanted to answer and was in a super big hurry...Sorry didnt read before I posted.

I have used the 1M tip but I also really like the look of the Wilton 1B tip I feel it looks slightly more fancy. I have numerous 'rose' cupcakes done like this in my photos. Like these ones:

Hold your piping bag straight up and down start in the center of the cupcakes and apply slight pressure allow your frosting to build up slightly before you start rotating your hands around the cupcake till you reach the outer edge then release the pressure and lift the bag.

Lol I just realized the same photo is my profile picture oops.

I agree with the person above who mentioned the 2D tip. I haven't tried it myself yet but plan to, but I'm pretty sure you need the larger 2D tip to get the look in the photo you linked unless you're piping mini cupcakes in which case 1M is probably fine . Here's a video tutorial from youtube:
