I made my roses out of candy melts, and it worked perfectly! Although I made twice the roses I needed (to be on the safe side) we only broke about 5 of them while decorating the cupcakes! :-)
Start by melting the candy according to the package directions, and putting it into an icing bag so you can pipe with it. A sandwich baggie with a small hole cut in the corner will also work.
First pipe the pink rose buds onto parchment paper,
, then come back and add the green stems with leaves.

I made mine a few days before the shower.
When it was go-time, we just stuck them into the cupcakes.
It was that easy. And we seriously only broke 5 of them!
These cupcakes were a huge hit at the shower, and would be a fun project for St. Therese's feast day as well! I promise they weren't as hard to make as they appear, and they will put a smile on everyone's face! Happy Catholic Cooking! :-)
