We took some autumn-themed cupcakes to our church's Harvest Party this weekend. These cupcakes are not easy to make!
The process involves collecting actual maple leaves (fresh ones are easier to work with, FYI), and actually painting them with melted candy/chocolate. Then once the candy sets, the maple leaves are to be peeled apart from the candy, and voila! -- A perfect candy maple leaf! But no, it is not that easy! Most of the candy leaves ended up breaking as we tried to peel off the leaves.
The acorns are made by softening caramels and forming them into acorn shapes. Then you dip the top part of the acorn in chocolate, then dip the chocolate in sprinkles.
These are tough to make, but they seemed to make a good impression. At least, they were all eaten!
