Pie Cupcakes

I did these pie cupcakes on Thanksgiving for the kids. I thought they'd like them better than real pie! They are vanilla cupcakes with a thick layer of buttercream icing, and a border around the top. Then, real cherry pie filling is carefully placed on top, and then iced in a lattice pattern and ruffle to look like little pies! They tasted SO good.

You can pipe the lattice with the basketweave tip. Just turn the tip over so that the lines are facing the cupcake. If you use too much of the pie filling, it will drip down the sides of the cupcakes, so be careful how much of it you place with the cherries.
