Ingredients
  

  • 2 sticks Salted Butter slightly softened
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 4 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 12 Cupcakes
  • 1 batch Buttercream Frosting
  • Green Food Coloring
  • Yellow Food Coloring
  • Pearl Sprinkles
  • 3 Strawberry Fruit Tape
  • 12 Milano Cookies
  • 8 ounces Vanilla Almond Bark or 1 cup vanilla candy melts

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter on medium speed until smooth.
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl, then add the cream and vanilla and beat on medium speed until combined.
  • With the mixer on low, slowly add powdered sugar until just barely mixed. Increase mixer speed to high and beat for one minute.
  • Set aside a couple of spoonfuls of frosting and color green.
  • Add desired amount of yellow food coloring to remaining frosting, then pipe or frost cupcakes generously.
  • Sprinkle with pearl sprinkles.
  • Cut each fruit tape into roughly 3 inch sections, then fold in half horizontally so they are half the width.
  • Roll tightly into a rose shape and set aside.
  • Melt almond bark according to package directions.
  • Cut off bottom 1/4 of each cookie.
  • Dip one side of each cookie in the melted candy, allowing the excess to drip off.
  • Before the candy sets, attach a rose to the bottom portion of the cookie and allow to harden.
  • Pipe a green leaf (you can use a piping tip or just snip off a corner of a sandwich bag) on each side of the rose.
  • Insert enchanted roses into each cupcake.
