8. Apple Cinnamon {Back to School} Cupcakes

One package of red will make roughly eight apples, but you could always make them smaller than I did here and stretch your dough further. The first thing you want to do is break the dough ball from the package into quarters. Then start kneading it. It will feel super tough for like 30 seconds and then all the sudden feel like play dough.” – Wine and Glue

“So, I had every intention to share a delicious doughnut (or “donut” – how do you spell that word anyhow!?) recipe here on the blog and then decorate it like an apple so that it could be the perfect first day of school treat for your kids and their teacher. Well, I opened my pantry to get out all the ingredients and I had a rush of laziness once I spotted the Trader Joes baking mix that I hadn’t tried out. Whew, was I glad! That mix is the most delicious tasting cupcake / baking mix I’ve ever bought (and I really don’t buy box mixes except the organic / good ones!) So, I guess my donut is actually a faux-nut, since its technically a cupcake shaped like a donut. Even better!” – Anders Ruff

“Ever since I saw 3-D cookies from SweetSugarBelle I have had 3-D cookies on my list of things to try. Teacher Appreciation became the perfect opportunity for me to give it a try. The apple is widely used to represent teachers because of the symbolization of growth. I knew I wanted make an apple tree but I didn’t want it to be just any old apple tree. I wanted it 3-D. What can I say? I love to give myself headaches sometimes. I will also be sharing other designs I made. This is going to be a lengthy post so let’s get started.” – Simply Sweet by Honey Bee
