Care for Some Pie?


My cousin came over the other day and we baked these "pie" cupcakes. The cupcakes are vanilla with vanilla frosting. To make the frosting look like pie crust we added a couple of drops of yellow food coloring and about a tablespoon of hot cocoa mix! The recipe actually called for cocoa powder but I improvised with hot cocoa mix since we didn't have any cocoa powder. The "fruit" in the pie are M&Ms!!

To decorate the cupcakes we sorted the M&Ms into colors and then topped the cupcakes with them. After the M&Ms were placed (M side down) we put the icing in a pastry bag and piped the rim of the crust followed by the lattice.
