Hi Everyone,

I've got it all ready (the pot, the styrofoam ball, cupcakes are baked ect)

Someone please help!
Thanks!

I haven't done any cc bouquets, but I have done cupcakes that had "roses" on top.

For these, I just piped a swirl with regular bc. Use tip#2D. Start at the center and just swirl in one motion to the outside edge. Then I used tip#252 and added a few leaves. They were a big hit. I think this is what you mean by "rosettes". HTH

Hi
What you need to do is go on www.wilton.com
then on the left hand side of the screen you want
Decorating Techniques - then - Basic Decorating Tech - then -- under the heading - Buttercream - scroll down until you find rosette. Good instructions and pictures.
Hope this helps
