Rose with French vanilla cupcakes

 
 
If cupcakes could be romantic, then I think I have created the most delicate heart endearing sweet treat that may even send Mr Darcy begging for more!
 

 
Rose tea is infused within the cupcake and balanced perfectly by the vanilla frosting.
 
If you are planning a special high tea or bridal shower, then these exquisite cupcakes will surely impress.

  1. They look delightful! Where did you get your piping tips from? I want a larger one than the one I currently have, which was the largest I could get locally, so I can make the pretty roses like these.

  2. Thanks for your message Deanne. You will need to buy the tips online if you don’t live near a cake decorating shop (like me!). (There is one in Coffs). I order through Cakes Around Town, The Raspberry Butterfly or Baking Pleasures. They all have postage around $8.95
    Hope this helps,
    Anna

  3. I ended up googling and found the shops you recommended but also another one called Miss Dot with free postage over $30, found a couple of other things I wanted as well so easy to get $30- gotta love free postage!

  4. These rose cupcakes are so beautiful and elegant. I adore the lovely presentation on the crochet Doily and in the China teacup. I have shared it with my Facebook Group Bebe’CTBelle
