Thankyou Shelia, i only posted cake pics because i saw your tasty ones!
Roses are all in the fingertips!

You can press out each petal with your thumb and forefinger, which takes forever but looks great, or just roll out a thin strip of icing, and roll it up into the shape of a rose, gently twisting along the way, so it looks like the petals are varying in length etc. I also painted one half of the strip in pink, so it looks like the insides of the roses are pink, and the outsides white
