See what's in bloom with these rose cupcakes.

Ingredients

• 1 cupcake
• Chocolate frosting
• Green-tinted coconut

• 5 candy or frosting roses
• 3 strands red whip licorice

Instructions

1. Unwrap the cupcake and frost in a basket-weave pattern using a basket-weave tip, as in the inset photo. (An easier alternative is simply to pipe a decorative edge around the top of the cupcake.)

2. Add the coconut grass and the candy roses. Braid the licorice for a decorative handle.

3. You can also make your own roses with a rose tip and pink frosting.
