i have a suggestion for your rose cupcakes. Use 1 package cream cheese, 1/4 cup of powder sugar, 1 tsp. milk, add a little rose essence and 1/2 tsp. vanilla . Mix well. After everythingis mixed add half cup of whipped cream. Mix with spoon . It makes a delicious light , not too sweet rose flavored icing. I sometimes use this for scones.

Hey Nadya, great to hear! It’s always nice to know when recipes work out. Good luck with the egg-free version.

These are absolutely amazing! I can’t get enough of them! Rose essence is something very special in our family, my grandma used to spray rose oils on our bed sheets, towels… The smell and taste are so unique and delicious!!! Thank you for this recepie! I made it many times and people were amazed! Better than I ever bought in any bakery! Fresh, soft, moist! Fantastic!!! Now trying to figure out a version for my one year old son who has egg allergies but I am trying to make it with more buttermilk vs eggs instead.

I used a bit of red food coloring to make my icing pink Can’t wait to bring them in to work!

The taste kind of confuses me, it is a very light flavor, I feel like I smell it more than I taste it, but it tastes exactly like roses smell, very nice.

Sarah, it seems like your frosting option is definitely one of the more popular around here — from what I’ve heard, at least. I wonder if I would like it, since I find white chocolate to be too sweet — which is kind of funny, because the whole issue is that buttercream frosting also tends to be too sweet.

Nice cupcakes. I bought a bag of dried roses a few weeks ago, this would be a nice use for them. I tend to like cream based frosting better- perhaps a mixture of cream and white chocolate so that it holds its shape.

Thanks, Yael! I’ve never tried vegan baking, and I have no idea how it would turn out if I were to do so …

Rose essence is a close cousin of zohar essence. Zohar is citrus blossom essence. But yes, they come in the same tiny bottles.

Your cupcakes look lovely! I love making them too,but usually make vegan ones,which is a bit of a challenge,but the outcome usually is very good.
Is that rose essence the same which is called zohar essence?In those tiny small bottles?
