16 pieces strawberry-flavored fruit by the foot |
24 large green gumdrops |
48 large assorted gumdrops |
48 pretzel sticks |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Prepare cake batter according to package directions for cupcakes.
3. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.
4. Bake at 350F for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
5. Cut three 9-inch pieces from each fruit roll piece ( save small pieces for another use ). With a small pastry brush, lightly brush water on one end of a fruit strip. Wrap around bottom of cupcakes; press ends together. Repeat with remaining cupcakes. Lightly brush water on one side of remaining fruit strips; fold in half lengthwise. Brush one end with water; wrap around cupcake top, slightly overlapping bottom fruit strip.
6. Press each gumdrop into a 1 1/4 -inch circle. With scissors, cut each green gumdrop into four leaf shapes; set aside. Cut one end of each remaining gumdrop into a tulip shape. Gently press a pretzel into each tulip-shaped gumdrop. Gently press gumdrop leaves onto pretzels. Press two flowers into the top of each cupcake. Yield: 2 doz.
