I have never used them on a cake because I don't like how hard they dry, but just found out that I can make roses much better with RI than BC.

Can anyone tell me if they will get softer sitting on BC?, or will they completely 'fall-apart'? Also, will they be fine sitting on a cake for a day?

Sorry, but just made over 100 roses today and want to be able to use them on my upcoming cakes!

RI will get softer as it sits on the buttercream. The shortening breaks it down. They will not fall apart, just get soft and easier to eat if anyone wants to.

I am sorry to bother you, but since you seem like a rose making pro, I thought I would ask for help!! I can't seem to make a rose look like it should, out of RI or BC!! The icing cracks on the edges and the "rose" looks like it went through a shredder. Do you have any tips on how to make roses out of frosting??? I'll take anything I can get!
