Chad's class was awesome; I'm sure you'll have a great time! As for the rose flavored buttercream, I've tried two versions, one with confectioner's sugar and butter, and another with a meringue base (using egg whites). I generally prefer the taste of meringue buttercream over the confectioner's sugar-based buttercream. Anyway, as un-scientific and imprecise as this may sound for the scientific art of baking I added a few tablespoons of rose petal jelly, rosewater, and a slight amount of food coloring (not the liquid stuff) to a meringue buttercream base. I did this to taste. Thanks, Ann. Chad’s class was awesome; I’m sure you’ll have a great time!

I am taking Chad P's course at ICE in April 2008 and found your review of his class. Then, I started looking at your postings. Great!! You have some great ideas and are a lot like me--taking the hobby of baking to a very high level. I love this wedding cake with your attention to detail and reflection of the couple. I also like the idea of rose flavored butter cream! Where did you get the recipe? Are you willing to share?! Thanks for sharing your hobby with us.
