A Rose By Any Other Name Would Smell As Sweet

Over the summer, I started my internship at Montilios Bakery where I was promptly stuck in cupcake land. Since the end of my very first day, I've had swirls of frosting running through my mind and sometimes catch myself automatically moving my arm in the tell-tale piping cupcakes motion. Finally in the midst of sprinkling, one of my coworkers asked if I could pipe roses. I said yes but asked for a mini refresher and nervously reached for the bag after she went from a clean and shiny rose nail to a hot pink buttercream rose in approximately .5 seconds. After a few tries, I found my stride and ended up with this:

THAT is the moment that I fell in love with piping roses along with everyone else loving that I loved piping roses. Apparently its everyone's least favorite job, but to me it's another step up from where I started. Happy baking everyone!
