Just finished making these lemon cupcakes with roses. I made them violet and lilac, my daughters' favourite colours. They are not 'pink' people neither am I, I am 'blue' and they are 'violet', thus I always refrain buying or making anything pink for them.
I found these roses very tricky to make. If you are not careful, it ended up like a cabbage! I can still spot some cabbages in my works, ha ha. Nevertheless, I like these challenges as they pushed me work harder, as the saying goes, practice made perfect.
The lemon cupcakes are not sweet but appetizing. Well, of course the icing (roses) is VERY sweet in order to make it stiff enough for making roses.
I welcome all ideas and tips if there's any to make these roses and the icing less sweet but stiff enough. Thank you in advance.
Stay blessed,
Carrie
