Rose Cupcakes

Ingredients:

12 mini cupcakes baked from mix of your choice in mini cupcake cups

Can of vanilla icing

6 fruit by the foot leather in cherry rage or strawberry flavor

1 green fruit by the foot leather of small mint leaves

Directions:

Frost the cupcakes.  To make a rose, unroll a piece of the red fruit leather and divide in half along the wavy perforated middle line.  Take one of the halves and roll up about 5" to form the flower's center.  Set the rolled stop wavy side up in the middle of a cupcake and continue to loosely wrap the remaining fruit leather around the center at a slight angle until the flower is completed.  Repeat this process for the remaining flowers.  (You should be able to get 2 mini roses out of each roll of fruit leather).  Cut leaf shapes from the wavy edge of the green fruit leather, or use small mint leaves for the rose leaves.  Tuck slightly under the roses.
