Instructions
For the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour three 6-inch cake pans.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cream together the butter, sour cream, and orange zest.
- Slowly add the sugar, mixing until the mixture is light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well between additions and scraping down the sides.
- Add the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the orange juice to the creamed mixture, beating well on low speed after each addition. Pour equal amounts of the batter into the 3 prepared cake pans. (I also use cake strips on my pans for more even baking.) Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 22 min. Cool the cake layers in the pans for 10 min. and then loosen the layers by running a knife between the cake and the edge of the pan. Remove the layers from the pans and put them on a rack to continue cooling.
For the Buttercream:
- Beat the butter until light and fluffy, add the sugar a cup at a time and beat well. Add all other ingredients in. Beat.
- Reserve 1/3 of the buttercream for the roses.
- Color the remaining 2/3 light pink using less than a drop of soft, pink food coloring.
- Divide the buttercream for the roses into several batches. One will be green for the leaves; one will be white; one will be yellow (for the stamens); and two different color pink batches.
- Separate the buttercream into 3 equal batches and color two of the batches with pink food coloring in different shades.
For the Roses:
- Attach a 126 tip to a piping bag and fill the bag with both colors of buttercream.
- Use a spatula to create a cone of buttercream on the cupcake.
- Pipe a cone onto the cupcake. (sharp side of tip facing up)
- Create the rose by making small arcs with the tip, which gradually increase in size as you get toward the edge of the flower.
- Pipe the leaves with a leaf tip.
Notes
- ALWAYS sift your sugar. Any lumps will clog your tip.
- Storing your flowers in the fridge will make them easier to handle when it's time to apply them to your cake/cupcake.
- Add food coloring a little at a time with a toothpick for maximum control.
