Step 1
Roll out the pink and green fondant. Cut approximately a 1/2 inch strip from the pink fondant. Feel free to adjust sizing here based on how large of a rose you would like to create.
Step 2
Fold the pink strip you cut in step 1 in half (length-wise).
Step 3
Start at one end of the folded strip and roll in strip into it self as shown.
Step 4
Once the rose has wrapped around 3-4 times, cut the end off using a plastic knife.
Step 5
Tuck the end of the strip under the bottom of the rose as shown.
Step 6
Use the leaf cutter to cut out several leaves from the green fondant (enough for 1-3 per cupcake as desired).
Step 7
Use a knife to gently press lines into the leaves as shown.
Step 8
Using a paint brush and a small amount of water, lightly moisten the biggest side of the leaves and press them against the roses to adhere.
Step 9
Frost the cupcakes using Buddy Valastro Food's buttercream icing and press the rose and leaves into place.
