Coming up Roses

i decided to try my hand at making roses from frosting....my first attempt was embarrassing. i used just pilsbury vanilla frosting with some rose pink color gel. the mixture was too soft, so my rose just looked like a blob of pink. i added some confectioners sugar to the mix to make it thicker, that seemed to help. however if i attempt it again, i will make my own frosting, possibly try royal icing. i made the rose directly on the cupcake instead of using a flower stand. i've seen rotating stands for cupcakes, i think that would have been helpful in this situation.
