Halloween Spider Cupcakes
Halloween is next week and the kids are aching for the sweet taste of chocolate and cakes. So why not give it to them, but with a little more fun. Making Spider Cupcakes is a great way for you to give the kids what they want and allow the children to have a little fun. It is also something that is great to make for that Halloween party you’re dying to throw!
Ingredients Are:
1 (18.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix
1 pound black shoestring licorice
1 (16 ounce) can white frosting
48 pieces candy corn
48 cinnamon red hot candies
1/4 cup orange decorator sugar
Directions Are:
Prepare cupcakes according to package directions. Let cool completely.
Cut licorice into 3 inch sections. Working with one or two cupcakes at a time, so the frosting doesn’t set before decorating, frost the cupcakes with the white frosting.
Insert licorice pieces into the outer edges of the cupcakes to make the legs of the spider, 3 legs on each side (4 takes up too much space). Place two pieces of candy corn on the front of the cupcake for fangs and use two red hots as eyes.
Sprinkle with decorator sugar. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.
