There is a great tutorial on Cake Journal on how to make the small rose above. It's very simple! Just take a small ball of fondant or marzipan, roll it out onto a thin, flat strip. Start on one end, and roll it up to make a rose! I used different size roses to make things more interesting. I liked not having and leaves because it made things simpler, but the above tutorial has now to make a leaf from fondant. You can also use a leaf tip and use icing. And that's it! Classy rose cupcakes!
