Fall Leaves and Acorns Wreath Cupcakes

I thought I’d share some photos of a wreath made of cupcakes my sister and I made over the Thanksgiving weekend. 

The leaves are made out of green milk chocolate and butterscotch chips melted and painted on the back of clean maple leaves for the detail. Some fell apart because they were painted on too thin, but I think it helped make them look more realistic like crunchy stepped on leaves.

The acorns are made of caramel squares heated up in the microwave and rounded out by hand. They are then dipped in melted chocolate and then chocolate sprinkles.

This idea was taken from the Hello, Cupcake book. There are so many ideas to try from it still and I cannot wait to share more for the holidays!
