Today we make cute autumn cupcakes The cupcakes are decorated with marzipan. It's easy using molds to make leaves and toadstools. If you do not then draw templates for the leaves on thick paper. Cut out the shapes, lay them on the rolled out marzipan and cut along the shapes. For toadstool hats roll balls, cut them in half. For the stems roll cylinders.
