To start, the two most important things you are going to need are proper piping bags and an actual cupcake pan- trust me. I ended up having to make two batches because a) the cupcake shape got all messed up and b) using homemade piping bags resulted in a lot of icing explosions (just don't do it). Here's what you need:
1 box of yellow cake mix (the best) + whatever it requires to make the cake
4 or 5 icing bags with pipettes
2 jars of white icing
food coloring (your choice, but pink/red is my favorite
48 mini or 24 regular
I don't have pictures of the icing, but here is a link to a similar rose cake that I made last summer. All you have to do is sort the icing evenly into separate bowls (I found about four different colors work) and add small amounts of food coloring gradually until you have gradual shades of one color.

And there you have it! Hope you try this out (I am now insanely hungry) and have a great Tuesday and rest of the week!
