In honor of Johnny Appleseed's birthday (9/26) and our Apple Theme
we whipped up these adorable & delicious
Red Velvet Apple Cupcakes!
These are so cute & fairly easy to make.
They do require a lil prep but the end result is worth it!
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!

Those are so cute. We were going to celebrate his birthday, but we had so much junk food right around then and it was daddy's bday the next day so I decided we didn't need another cake. We did read a couple of Johnny Appleseed books to go with our How to Make an apple Pie and See the World unit, and lots of apple stuff.
