Piping Buttercream Roses and Swirls Using Open Star Tip

With the playoff games today, being from Denver, and a Payton Manning fan we are having a small get together. Everyone loves my rose buttercream cupcakes piped on my rose flavored cupcakes. It might be the rose liqueur. I thought I would share a short tutorial on using the Wilton 1M piping tip/nozzle. I prefer the roses, but the guys tend to eat the swirls first (there is more frosting)!

You literally could bake and decorate these cupcakes in about two hours (due to cooling time)!
Color the buttercream after it is made, choose a color of your choice, add 2 drops at a time to achieve desired color. We have a few Patriots fans joining us, therefore I chose yellow (neither team colours have yellow)! The cupcakes are neutral!
The Bronco’ s colours: Orange and Blue.
Patriots colours: Blue, Silver, Red and White.
The Swirl:

The Rose/Rosette:

Go Broncos..unless your a Patriot’s fan.
