wilton chocolate buttercream:

1 lb cane sugar
1 Tbsp meringue powder (optinal)
pinch of salt (optional)
3/4 cup cocoa
i've used it before, and it works great. it takes a lot of brown coloring to darken it, but if your cake icing is light brown it would make a great contrast to have some dark roses.
Hi,
Have you ever made roses from Tootsie Rolls? They are really quite easy and if you've done fondant roses, the tootsie roll ones are done exactly the same way and turn out great. I used the same cutters as for the fondant one. I have a pic in my photos of them. Good luck!
