I only made the icing, and as another reviewer said it was pretty sour and cream cheesey. I added another cup of sugar, 2 more tablespoons grenadine, and one more teaspoon vanilla extract. This cut down on the sourness, but it's still pretty strong. If you don't like cream cheese, I suggest getting regular vanilla icing and adding 3 tablespoons grenadine.
I cheated and used a boxed cake mix, so my review is for the frosting and rose petals only. It was more labor intensive than I thought it would be to make the rose petals perfectly sugared, but they were really beautiful and the frosting was incredible.
I tried this recipe out as a practice for an upcomming party. I loved it. The actual cupcake was yummo but best of all was the frosting. The color was impressive. What a perfect and simply elegant addition to a party.
This cake recipe was so easy and so tasty. It had great texture, flavor, aroma and color ( a real yellow cake.I will be using it again for a cupcake tower for my daughter's birthday party.

These cupcakes were a real success, I'm definitely going to make more for Easter dinner. I used French crystallized roses instead of the rose petals:

The cupcake batter was easy to make and tasted great. However the frosting wasnt so good, extremly rich and sour.
