I have been looking all over the internet and can't seem to figure out how to make the rose swirl effect on cupcakes. I have used tip 1M but that doesn't look like a rose. Any advise on how to get the rose effect and direction on how to do so would be much appreciated. Thanks!

It's super-easy! 
Use your 1M tip on a 90 degree angle, that's fine...BUT instead of starting from the outside edge and piping all the way in and upwards towards the centre, you start from the middle and pipe around all the way around to the outside edge. That gives it a rose-look.
I did them for Valentine's day and they looked like this pic I used as inspiration, not sure whose these are

I just bought this tip now I can't wait to try this. Unfortunately I made 5 dozen cupcakes and frosted them before seeing this thread so I guess I'll have to wait! I certainly don't need any more cupcakes right now! lol (I didn't make 5 dozen for us, it was for a picnic but I have some leftovers.)
Thanks for posting!

Antonia74, your cuppies are beautiful
Thanks for starting this thread, Meredith1851. I've always wondered how they achieve that beautiful rose look.

Just to clarify what I'd said....that pic isn't mine, I used it for inspiration.
I've since found the member it belongs to, it's by Jammjenks!

Sorry for the mistake, Antonia74...I must have been reading too fast. I can see why you were so impressed by the cuppies by Jammjenks

If you haven't made them before and you just want to practice the technique, like I did, you can draw some circles (~2 1/2 inches) in wax paper and practice until you get it. But it is really straightforward and easy and you get beautiful results from a simple swirl just by starting from the center, I was amazed.
Good luck!

Ooh! Good idea! I have some leftover frosting in the freezer that I can play with too! Thanks for the tip.
