Buttercream Roses Cupcakes & Cakes
Few cake designs are as timeless and elegant as buttercream roses. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, wedding, or just want a beautiful centerpiece for your dessert table, these cakes never go out of style. Today I’m sharing several of my favorite buttercream rose cakes. These cakes are the perfect inspiration for anyone who loves simple, stunning buttercream designs.
If you want to do these, all you’ll need is a cake or pile of cupcakes, some buttercream frosting (or cream cheese frosting) and a Wilton 1M tip.
Any questions about these cupcakes or cake? Please leave them in the comments!
Awwww! LOVE! 🙂 I kept thinking about them too. Wish I would have gotten around to making some for us.
Thanks Kristen… I thought they turned out really good!
Omg its socute there like little roses
Thanks Shase!
Rose, I have a question for you. I have seen a couple tutorials on this rose effect, and one of the ladies used the technique of first making the inside small swirl of the rose in one direction, and then she lifts the tip off of the cake and makes the outside swirl around the smaller swirl in the opposite direction. I hope I explained that clearly. Hers look fine too. I LOVE the way yours look, though. Yours truly look like sculpted roses. Did you use the swirl technique that iambaker uses where you leave your tip on the cake as you do the two swirls or the other one I have described? thanks so much, Rose!
OH wow… I’ve never seen it done that way! I actually do it just like Amanda from I am Baker. I would be interested to try the other way just to see!!
I love your creations.I’d love to be so talented.I’ve bought the right nozzle (hopefully) but my cupcake cases are rubbish.where can I get proper greaseproof cases which won’t come away from the cupcake? Thanks.
I get mine at CountryKitchenSweetart.com! I buy the brown glassine liners and I love them!
Rose please, can you please tell me how to create those rose flowers on a cake?
Hi….

I need delicious buttercream recipes…would you helping me for this?
Thanks
Rose, these are all so very lovely! I am planning to make my first wedding cake in a few months (for a friend, not for sale!), and she wants something simple like this. Would you be willing to share a little more information on the two-tiered anniversary cake you made? What size are the layers, and did you use wooden dowels or plastic dowels or straws in the contruction? Thank you! I expect I’ll be visiting your blog again : )
Hi Amy! You can see how I construct my cakes here: How to Stack Cakes. And the cake was 6″ and 10″ rounds – 2 layers of cake per tier. I hope you’ll come back often!
Rose-
I LOVE the two tier cake you show here! I want to try to make it for my own wedding! But would I put the two tiers together and then decorate them? Or ice them separately and then very carefully put them together?
Thank you!
I stack first, then pipe on the roses! 🙂
Hi there was wondering what size tiers these cakes are and how many people would they serve?
Thank you
