Make some vanilla frosting, following our recipe, or mix together canned frosting and powdered sugar until thick.
Put the frosting into a piping bag with a 1M star tip. Alternate adding a stripe of food coloring to the inside of the bag. Fill the bag with frosting and pipe on your frosting.
Place a handful of chocolate chips in a baggie and place them into hot water or microwave to melt. Massage the baggie to make sure that it’s all molten then snip off the corner of the bag and pipe leaf outlines onto parchment paper.
Refrigerate to set the chocolate leaves for 10 minutes. Place a leaf on top of a cupcake and serve at your fall party!
Notes
Unfortunately, these cupcakes were made in 2013 and I can no longer find these Wilton Fall Leaf Tulip Cupcake Liners.
