Knead the red fondant until it is smooth and pliable. Roll it out to a thin thickness of 1/16 inch. Use an easy rose cutter to cut the red fondant. Flip over and fold in half lengthwise. Roll the red fondant form a rose shape. Cut off about ? of the bottom. Use a toothpick to gently separate and arrange the petals of the fondant rose, giving it a realistic appearance.

Repeat the process for each cupcake until all are beautifully adorned with a fondant rose and leaf.
