Easter Cross Cupcake

I wanted to make a religious cupcake but with a pretty twist to it and I suddenly thought that tootsie rolls could be make to look just like crosses.

I started off with a cupcake rough iced to look like grass and then I cut three tootsie rolls in half and stuck them together to make crosses.

I made the center one slightly taller.

Then to make it pretty, I added some flowers and the final touch was a butterfly on Jesus’ cross.

Is it bad that my children loved eating the replica of the cross that Jesus died on?  Any thing that gets them to remember his sacrifice is good with me.
