Happy Birthday On A Budget Single Rose

Here's a simple and thoughtful but beautiful and delicious Happy Birthday on a Budget gift idea: a single rose made of cake.

 

You will need a rose muffin pan, a green dowel or a regular dowel wrapped in florist tape and a four artificial leaves - all found at Hobby Lobby. 

 

 

 I used a NordicWare muffin pan that I got on sale for $19.99 and which I have used over and over for other projects. 

 

 

Below is a silicone rose muffin pan that looks great for $9.89 on Amazon.   Here's the link: Silicon Rose Muffin Pan

 

 

 I used a red velvet cake mix for the rose. 

 

Decorate rose for Happy Birthday presentation with a clear cellophane gift bag (Target, Michaels, Hobby Lobby), add a ribbon bow and a gift tag and you're good to go!

Enjoy!
