With Thanksgiving and Christmas on the way desserts, pies, cookies, and even cupcakes are taking center stage. I have made it no secret here that I have a picky eater on my hands.
Well, my picky eater is not a fan of fruits and veggies. This kid begged us to go apple picking. She swore she ate an apple at school for the first time recently and liked it. The same kid took one bite of one of the apples and spat it out.
Moreover, she also recently convinced my husband that it was only because the apple wasn’t dipped in caramel. So, dad bought her a caramel apple with chocolate chips and nuts. Once again, the verdict was not a fan of apples even candy coated!
So, I have had to get creative with sweets and desserts for this kid. Trust me; she won’t be eating any fruit pies like pumpkin, cherry or more.
But she will eat cupcakes. Believe it or not, she not only loves regular icing but fondant, as well.
So, I decided to make mock cherry pie cupcakes minus the cherry using fondant.
These cupcakes are seriously too cute. And they are indeed picky eater approved here. Plus, they are the perfect holiday cupcake. See for Thanksgiving; they are the ideal fruit pie themed that are kid-friendly. On top of this, they also work for Christmas time, as they are red and festive looking, too.
Therefore, with simple vanilla cupcakes, red icing, and red fondant, you can also make cherry pie cupcakes for your family this holiday season.
So how about it? Do you indeed want to make cherry pie cupcakes?

I love the taste of cherries but can’t stand the texture of cherries. I know, I’m weird…and proud of it. lol Have a fantastic Monday, Janine. We have ice this morning…first time. Brrrrr!
Janine says
Not weird and with my picky eater nothing is too weird or out there for me food wise anymore. That said, I just saw we are to possibly get our first snow here on Thursday. Sounds like just a coating. But still never happier than now that I am migrating south for a few days on Friday to Florida and Disney for some warmer air with no real snow! Happy Monday again, my friend 🙂
Cynthia says
I will admit my novice baking abilities here: I have never used fondant and…well done with making it look like cherries! Haha…maybe this will trick the youngsters into eating real cherries when the time comes.
Oh, lordy. A kiddo that doesn’t like fruit. I bet that is a real challenge in your household. Hehe. I *love* apples and bananas and cherries…but they are even better when they’re dressed up a bit in a fruit cup or cupcake.
In any case, I hope you have a wonderful week! Looking forward to seeing more Disney photos and happy early Thanksgiving!
Janine says
Aw, thank you, my friend, and hope your week has been great so far. Also, can’t wait to share new Disney photos here soon. Happy (early) Thanksgiving once again, too!! 🙂
