Red-Delicious Apple

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Tint buttercream red with gel-paste food color. Using an offset spatula, spread buttercream on cupcakes (the applesauce-spice cupcakes on page 55 are a good choice), smoothing to form domed shapes. Use a paring knife to cut 24 leaf shapes from green-apple sour belt candy. Break 12 small pretzel sticks in half; insert a pretzel half into each cupcake for a stem; arrange a candy leaf shape alongside.
