Are those apples? No, suprisingly they aren't! They are cupcakes made to look like apples.  It was my very first attempt at not taking the easy route like I usually had and buy them at the grocery store for my daughter's birthday.  One look at her and her pleading request to make them special made me bite the bullet and get my baking pans out and dig for that little bit of creativity I had buried for quite some time.  So with a little bit of thinking power and extra junk food around the house, you can create quite a fun little birthday dessert for a class of 22!  These are cupcakes with the tops cut off, placed with mini donuts on top to make the shape of the apples, iced with red frosting and sugar.  The stems are tootsie rolls that are placed so easily into the middle of that mini-donut, and the leaves are shaped from green sour apple tootsies.
