Sweeter by the dozen

You don't need to have a green thumb - or be a florist - to share these beautiful blooms. They're made from spirals of Fruit by the Foot fruit leather centered on mini cupcakes. Here's how to arrange your own bouquet:

INGREDIENTS ¦ 12 mini cupcakes ¦White icing ¦ Scissors

¦ 6 rolls of Fruit by the Foot in cherry or strawberry

¦ 1 roll of Fruit by the Foot in the Color by the Foot flavor

DIRECTIONS

1. Frost 12 mini cupcakes with white icing.

2. To make a rose, unroll a piece of the cherry or strawberry fruit leather and divide it in half along the wavy perforated middle line. Take one of the halves and roll up about 5 inches to form the flower's center. Set the rolled strip 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.

3. Repeat this process for the remaining flowers. (You should be able to get two mini roses out of each roll of fruit leather.)

4. Cut leaf shapes from the wavy edge of the Color by the Foot strip, then tuck the leaves under the roses.
