Why do you need to put icing on the cake?

How do you make icing roses on a cake?

To make your rose, start in the center, then slowly move your tip in a circle around the center point. I wanted a single rose to span the side of the cake so I looped around my center point twice. Try to end in the same place each time. Go all the way around the cake and complete with one last rose!
