Buttercream Flowers Part 2

Okay. So I went to Target got the stuff I needed, came home and began the project. Just as I was finishing up making the frosting, my father-in-law calls to ask if he and my mother-in-law can stop over for an hour. Check with hubby, he says okay. I abandoned my frosting and spend the next half hour doing a mad dash clean. I had just enough time to cover the frosting in Saran Wrap before they walked in.

They ended up staying about two hours. But it was nice.

As soon as they left, I ran back to the kitchen to get started. I tried to make several kinds of no name flowers and a few roses. It didn't go to well. Let's be honest, they were terrible. Each and every one. I used the last bit of frosting to make nice classic swirl on the last cupcake just so I could end on a positive note.

I wanted to make more and try again, but I was out of butter. In case you hadn't noticed, I run out of stuff a lot. Oh, one more thing about me. I can't cook. At all. I sent hubby to work with a couple dozen cupcakes yesterday and one of the girls said to him, "Wow. You are so lucky. These cupcakes are amazing. Your wife must be a wonderful cook." He laughed and said, "Cupcakes are the only things she makes that taste well." He's 100% correct.
