Rose Cupcakes

Ingredients

• rolls of cherry or strawberry fruit candy AND green apple fruit candy, such as Fruit by the Foot

• frosted mini cupcakes

Instructions

1. To make one, unroll a piece of cherry or strawberry fruit candy, and divide it along the wavy perforated middle line.
2. Form the flower's center by rolling up one of the halves about 5 inches. Set the rolled strip, wavy side up, in the middle of a frosted mini cupcake, as shown.
3. Loosely wrap the remaining fruit strip around the flower's center, at a slight angle, until the rose is completed.
4. Cut leaf shapes from the wavy edge of a green apple fruit strip, as shown, then tuck the leaves under the rose.
