Apple cupcakes

Hey girls today I will have my first recipe. Apple cupcakes. These are perfect for an end of the year present for your teacher (you know like an apple on the desk). Well I will have a step by step instructions (including pictures).
Ingredients:
cake mix (any cake mix will do)
and 
the ingredients needed to make   

donuts (optional)
cupcake liners (it's cuter if
 they are red but I couldn't find the red)
 
food coloring (if you don't have
 pre-dyed frosting)
 

a bowl


Ziploc close able bag (or
if you have  a piping bag use that













How to make them:
line your cupcake tins with the liners
                            
                 Put vanilla frosting or pre dyed frosting into
 Ziploc bags or pastry bag
(add as much red food coloring to
 get it an apple red or pink, green, 
and to get brown I used a couple drops each
 of yellow and red and then I added a
 drop of green. Smoosh the bags around or mix
 them in a bowl and there you go.)

Make sure your donuts (if you are using them) fit in your cupcake
 liners to make sure they will fit on top of your cupcakes.
Time to make them
Mix the cupcake batter and put in some red food dye to make them cuter

Put them in the oven and bake for 
10 to 12 minutes or until a tooth pick put in the center comes out  cleanly
Take them out of the oven ( if you are
younger have an adult take them out)
Let cool for about about 5 m minutes or
until they are cool to the touch 





Put the red or pink frosting on them 
put a donut (optional) on top and ice on 
top of the donut with the same frosting
take your brown frosting and pipe in the 
center of the donut. Pipe the green in as a leaf shape. 
Optional: cut the donut into little triangle shapes 
and put them on top of the brown frosting.
