Flower cupcakes with white chocolate frosting

I took a cake decorating class at Michaels a few months ago learning how to make those gorgeous royal icing flowers you see in the magazines. It was a blast! I was actually the only student there so

I got special treatment and got the hang of it really fast. For these cupcakes I made turquoise roses and coral apple blossoms. For the other ones I used the petal method taught in the second Wilton course book, but I also found a fabulous video tutorial here.
