Prepare for Decorating:
After the cupcakes have cooled and been frosted, decorating can begin.Cut Leaf Shapes:
Use a rolling pin to flatten a green Airhead, then snip leaf shapes from it with kitchen shears.Make Apple Stem:
Roll a Tootsie Roll into a long, thin rope and slice it to the preferred length with a knife. For a stem that looks more natural, cut at an angle.Assemble Apple Cupcake:
To put together each apple cupcake: insert a stem into the center. Squeeze the base of a leaf to create dimension, then position it beside the stem. Place a gummy worm around the stem or partly beneath the leaf. If worms are too large, halve them; cut all worms the same way to avoid disappointment.Serve and Enjoy:
Serve and enjoy the cupcakes!
