I am so looking forward to spring break next week. Less time driving every which way, more time for playing!! Today’s post is a quickie – just a little tip for frosting one of those rose cakes that I love doing. Why do I love them? Because they look beautiful for any occasion AND you can frost one in less than 10 minutes.
You’ll need a frosting that holds its shape pretty well – you know how much I love my swiss meringue buttercream, so I won’t go on and on about that, but it works perfectly for this cake. I’ve also done one with chocolate and the swirls look so beautiful.

Hi this is a stunning cake!
Would this work with buttercream icing? Or would it slide off the sides? If so what other icings would work?
Thanks xx

Gorgeous cake! Which tip did you use exactly? You said a large open-star, but is yours a certain number?

Hi Danielle! I think I used tip 1M – hope that helps!

Beautiful cake! i was wondering if your strawberry dream frosting would hold up well enough for the swirled roses?
girlinspired says
Hey Khadija – I think that the strawberry dream frosting would definitely work for swirled roses. Some people have had trouble with that frosting getting too soft, but as long as you’re working in a cooler room and don’t let the butter get toooo soft, it should work great!
Pamela says
That is a 2D tip. The 1M is an open star. I just bought both of them yesterday. Wow, you really can’t tell the difference from the way the rose looks though from the way the 1M roses look.
Your cake is beautiful. I can’t wait to try it. I was planning on it, but didn’t have the 1M or 2D.
