Flower Cupcakes

Almond Joy Cupcakes with Ribbon Roses and two tone leaves.

Made for a small party my sister threw for the end of the semester at school. They are almond cake, coconut filling, and chocolate buttercream icing. The roses and leaves are almond buttercream. :)

I practiced a lot. :) I actually achieved a "perfect" flower and went running through the house, covered in icing, swathed in a huge apron, waving my piping bag about, screaming for my mother to come see.
