We love making fun themed food for holidays, parties, etc…and love to have extra fun with ideas inspired by our favorite movies & characters! You’ll find a lot of fun Disney-inspired treats & crafts here on the blog, so we had to share something for Beauty and the Beast as well! And these really aren’t too tough to make at all! You can even make things easy by buying store bought cupcakes and just frosting them yourself. SO easy! So fun! The candy roses in these cupcakes are sure to be a hit – especially with the kids! You’ll just need some moldable/pliable red & green candy/fruit roll-up. Here’s how to make them…

Candy Rose Cupcakes Ingredients:

• 6-Prepared Cupcakes, Unfrosted
• 6-Fruit by the Foot Fruit Snacks (or similar)
• 2-Airhead Watermelon Candy (or similar)
• Frosting (homemade or store bought)
• Yellow food coloring
• Tiny Clear Plastic Cups (shot glass size) *<– click affiliate link to order
• Lollipop Sucker Sticks *<–click affiliate link to order

Directions:

1. For the roses, unroll a fruit roll-up, fold in half lengthwise. Then starting at the folded end, roll up making the layers a bit uneven so it resembles a rosebud.

2. Take the lollipop sticks and cover the middle of it with a small piece of the green Airhead candy. Cut tiny triangles and press onto the green stem to look like leaves.

3. Place the rose down over the sucker stick – making sure the green stem and red rose top touch.

4. Prepare the frosting by adding yellow food coloring and stirring well.

5. Frost the cupcakes. If you want it to look fuller (or ruffly like Belle’s dress), use a piping bag and large tip to pipe large dots/”stars” of frosting all over cupcake.

6. Push the remaining “open” stick of the flower down into the cupcake and carefully place the clear cup over the flower until it rests on the frosting.

7. Enjoy right away or store in an air-tight container.

Love it! So enjoy these fun cupcakes and enjoy going to see the newest version of Beauty & the Beast – it’s SO good!!!!!
