The title certainly applies to this rose fondant cake extraordinaire. The creator of this masterpiece is Miss Rose Levy Beranbaum at Real Baking With Rose. I'd like to try and recreate a mini version of this cake. Hopefully my mini version won't fall into the next Foodie Friday train wrecks and bloopers category.
Butter RoseThis takes bread and butter on the dinner table to a whole new level!
Time to pull out the frosting tips. and give it a try....
Boutons de Rose for infusion.I love using roses embellishments.
Their decorating and gift possibilities are endless.

This was the first rose of the season.

Melt white chocolate chips (Nestles), I added just a blush of pink.
Use a liner a brush to apply a fine line of white chocolate around the edges of the rose.
Sprinkling (no dipping) Wilton (clear white) sparkling sugar over the chocolate.
You can apply this technique to loose petals too,
by painting one entire side of the petal with white chocolate and repeat wit the sugar.
**It's important to fill the muffin tins with a little water before placing the roses inside the cups to keep the flowers fresh**
The results are exquisite!
The rose petals sparkle when the light reflects off the sugar.
My sweet daughter in-law surprised Paul and I with homemade Red Velvet cupcakes.
I topped them off with a trio of petite sugared roses.
On the fully bloomed miniature roses , I sugared the entire flower just like I did the loose petals.
I'll warn you...once you get started...it's very addicting!
You'll be checking out the flowers in your garden with a new sugary perspective.
There are many recipes for rose infused drinks, so

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving me such a nice comment!!! It led me to you!
My table and chairs in my kitchen is a pub set which I got at Akin furniture in Fort Payne, Alabama. I will try and find out the maker of the furniture for you. I recovered the seats in the fabric that is on them, and cannot find the fabric anymore! I have been looking for it cos' I want more!
Hope you have a great day!!
Lou Cinda :)
Hi Sara, thanks for taking a peek at my blog & leaving just about the sweetest comments I've ever gotten! Your rose creations just look divine! Nice getting to know you! Take care!
~N~
What a fabulous post. I have really enjoyed seeing all your lovely rose photos. Your presentation of the rose and raspberry gift jam is wonderful. I've always wanted to try sugared fruit and now sugared roses. Beautiful!
Oh, Thank you for inviting me over! I had so much fun looking around! You do all the things I love! I done a few of the ice cubes and sugar cubes. I always say I am going to make rose water, syrup, and oil. I never done it! I do not have as many as roses as you, but I am working on it! lol I love the rose cake and love the idea of the butter made in shape of a rose. I use to decorate cakes for everyone years ago. Think making a rose is like riding a bicycle? It comes back to you, for I road my Grandson bike just yesterday! lol I am 51 and not been on one since I was in my early 30's. Oh,the sugar cubes, I have the mold from my days of making mints! Oh, send me some rose water! I will take it to the hospital, for I know I will not get a good cup or glass of tea! What shall I drink? lol I will have to come back Thank you for coming by my site and leaving me such sweet comment and again Thank You for inviting me to Tea on your site!
This is all just glorious! Ah...the sweetness of a rose. This post just made me feel so happy. Thank you for that!
Love,
Sue
