I’ve seen some pretty cute apple cupcakes floating around on Pinterest lately and my son has a fall birthday so I thought what would be better? Lucky me he even requested his birthday party be at the local apple orchard! Whoot woot! These were really easy to accomplish and I love the way they turned out! Here’s what you do:
Start off with some freshly made cupcakes. My kids are split even down the middle for taste so I have to make “just chocolate” ones and “just vanilla” ones. Let your cupcakes completely cool and prepare your frosting. I attempted to follow someone elses pin by adding a sliced doughnut on top to add the “apple” shape but in all honesty it was incredibly messy, didn’t turn out that well, and they didn’t stick…so being the perfectionist that I am I started over with just regular cupcakes and frosting!
Once you have your adorable cupcake ready to frost (oh one more thing…to add to the over all appeal try and use red paper liners!) slab on a bunch of red frosting (I actually used a plastic bag to pipe it on) and finish frosting the whole bunch. When you’re done simply dip the top of the cupcakes in red sugar for a little twinkle. Add one or two green frosting leaves to the top and shove a tootsie roll on top for the stem! How adorable?!?!?
