Fruit Roll-Up Cupcakes
Rose made from one full strip of "Strawberry Fruit Roll-Up". (Note. Fruit by the foot was too gooey to use.) One strip per rose. Unwind roll all the way, and start making bud of rose with the tight end (very end) of the strip. Working backward on the strip gives better results.

Candy Tacos
Shells = mixture of yellow/white chocolate (mostly yellow, add a few whites), mix in black colored sugar. I used a circle drawn on parchment paper. Thin layer, as it begins to set, I proped it up (set in narrow tupperware, etc.). Then add second or third layer with plastic spoon to make it sturdy. Use freezer to help with cooling time. Meat = brownie crumbs. Lettuce = thinly sliced "apple belts" (found in asst. candy isle at Vons grocery store). Cheese = orange/yellow colored marshmallow fondant, actually grated with cheese grater. Tomotoes = sliced cherry licorice found at RiteAid. Olives = I picked out the darkest colored cherrios in the "Chocolate Cherrios" cereal box.
