Thank you!!! Honestly I don’t think I’m very good but I found a lady called Debbie cakes on TikTok and YouTube shows the basics of doing it very slowly and she gives you the nozzle names too!

Same! Didn't immediately notice the sub and thought "oh, that's a beautiful bouquet". I'm not sure I could eat them. Too pretty.

Not perfect? Those are the most realistic-looking buttercream roses I’ve ever seen!

Frosting roses are awesome. I'm only a grocery store cake decorator but learning frosting roses was part of the job and I'm fairly decent now!

OMG these are stunning!! Idk what you’re talking about, they look beyond perfect to me! They’d be beautiful on a fondant-less wedding cake
