Hello and welcome to Cupcake Addiction's Beautiful Red Rose Bouquet Cupcake Tutorial where I'll
be showing you how to make this lovely red rose bouquet cupcake.
It's a bit of an overstatement this cupcake.
I wouldn't generally do an entire dozen of them.
But I do like to team 3 or 4 into a dozen with my love heart and single rose cupcakes.
They're perfect for events like Valentine's Day -- gift for her, gifts for mom, just to
tell someone that you love them.
Today I'm using a red velvet cupcake.
I think it's the cupcake of love.
I have some pre-made and pre-purchased -- I didn't make these myself -- red royal icing
piped roses.
These I just brought from a cake decorating shop.
You can also have a look online if you're looking for some of those.
You will need quite a few.
I think I've used roughly 15.
But the amount will vary depending on the coverage that you're going for and the size
of the cupcake you're starting with.
I have some of our perfectly pipeable buttercream frosting which I've colored red, nice and
thick consistency.
We have a recipe and a tutorial on buttercream frosting and how to achieve that lovely consistency.
But for this cupcake, I would recommend adding an additional cup of icing sugar or confectioner
sugar when you actually make that because you want this frosting to be really nice and
firm.
There's going to be quite a bit of white in all of these roses and we don't want them
to slide off and drag that icing down.
I have a standard household butter knife.
And I'm using a Loyal number 20 piping nozzle in conjunction with a disposable plastic bag
that I've pre-filled with that red buttercream frosting.
Let's get started.
This is actually quite a simple cupcake.
To start with, I'm just going to take my buttercream frosting in that bag.
Now I'm just going to make sure that's popping out at the end as always so that we don't
have any air bubbles to make an explosion on our cupcake.
And I'm going to swirl that around, nice and high.
Don't worry if it's not particularly neat because we are about to get it a little bit
messy.
But you just want to give that cupcake a bit of a height, something for all of our roses
to rest on.
I'm going to take the back of the butter knife and I'm just going to smooth that frosting.
See how nice and firm that is?
When I tilt that cupcake, the frosting's not going to go anywhere so it's really holding
its shape nicely.
Make sure that you get it all the way to the edges of the cupcake so that your roses have
something to attach to.
Delicious frosting glue.
Alright, I'm going to start in the center.
These roses, one, the top and the middle and then I'm just going to place them around in
a bit of a circle.
We do have a great range of tutorials on cupcakes and cakepops.
I've got recipes and decorating tips.
So if you're enjoying this tutorial, feel free to subscribe to our channel.
We upload new tutorials every week.
And we'd love to keep you informed about what's going on in the world of cake decorating and
cakepop decorating.
You just want to space them out there.
Now essentially...
See I've got a couple of gaps down here?
I'm just going to shift them all around a little bit just to make room so that I get
that lovely round ball shape.
If I could get one more on there...
Don't be afraid to just make them go where you want them to go.
If you get here... see how I've got just a little bit of a gap?
I'm just going to get a little bit more of our frosting in our piping bag.
Just stick a little blob on there.
And use that just to attach that final rose.
Beautiful!
So there you have your delightful bouquet of roses cupcake.
Thanks for watching!
