Rose Syrup Icing

So I was suppose to make a batch of bandung cupcakes for a friend to show my appreciation of him and his housemates for taking care of me while I was locked out of my house (I forgot my keys :\ ).

Due to carelessness, I botched up the measurements and the entire batter. Really really badly. My cupcakes were more of vanilla than bandung. Because I promised him a batch of bandung, I decided that I might as well make the best of it and try making a good rose icing to complement the cupcake as well as give the good rose flavour you would get from eating a good bandung cupcake.

So after trying for a while... I managed to get the flavour that I really like. The only problem was texture. It just wasn't thick enough. That was a major problem since the icing would just seep all over. I couldn't thicken it more due to the lack of icing sugar. So I just had to make do. But I think it went well :)

Since I have left over icing, I think the next thing I'm going to do is basically make mini vanilla cupcakes and frost them. Or get more sugar to thicken up the icing before I try again.
