Teacher Appreciation Apple Tree Cupcake Cake

For Teacher Appreciation Week, we decided to take in a treat to recognize all of the teachers at our school. 

This tree is made from three batches of cupcakes. I made the apples out of red fondant. I cut them with an apple cookie cutter. I used a grass tip to frost the tree part and the grass on the cupcakes at the bottom. 

I couldn't find a cake board large enough to fit this, so I covered a tri-fold poster display board.
