Red Velvet Cupcake  & Cream Cheese Icing Recipe

To turn your red velvet cupcakes into apples you will need: 

chocolate twizzlers or tootsie rolls

sour apple laffy taffy

What To Do:

1. I cut the twizzlers into 4 pieces to make the stems

2. cut the taffy into small pieces and form a leaf

3. attach taffy leaf to stem by pressing them on - they will stick

Note: keep the taffy relatively thin so it's not too heavy. 

I learned this the hard way!

4. use red food coloring to turn cream cheese icing red

5. attach stems w/leaves to frosted cupcakes &

enjoy your Red Velvet Apple Cupcakes!
