  1. Use cake mix to prepare cupcakes according to box instructions. Cool completely and set aside.

Prepare Frosting

  1. In a large bowl, whip mascarpone cheese on medium-high speed, using a whisk attachment, until smooth, about 1 minute.  Add Rooh Afza syrup and rose water and whip until incorporated.  Wipe down sides of bowl as needed.

  2. With the mixer running on medium speed, slowly drizzle in heavy whipping cream.  Wipe down the sides of the bowl as needed, and whip until soft peaks form.

  4. Pipe or frost cupcakes as desired.  Garnish with candied fruit if desired.
