Ingredients

Cupcakes

1      container (16 oz) vanilla frosting

1/4    teaspoon orange food color

(if your pkg does't come with orange, you can use 2 drops each of red and yellow)

24    unfrosted cupcakes (purchased or baked from a mix)  

       DO use the paper baking cups if baking your own.

Spider Webs

1    tube (0.68 oz) black decorating gel (not food color)

8    clean plastic spider finger rings, or licorice spiders if you can find them

Eyeballs

2    tablespoons vanilla frosting (from 16-oz container)

8    candy-coated chocolate pieces

1    tube (0.68 oz) black decorating gel (not food color)

1    tube (0.68 oz) red decorating gel (not food color)

Graves

1   tube (0.68 oz) black decorating gel (not food color)

8    oval creme-filled peanut butter sandwich cookies

1/4    cup chocolate cookie crumbs

8    candy pumpkins

Steps

1 Place 3 tablespoons of the frosting in small bowl; set aside. Stir orange food color into remaining frosting in container until well blended and no streaks remain. Frost cupcakes.

 

2 To make Spider Web Cupcakes, use black decorating gel to draw spiral covering on top of each frosted cupcake. Drag toothpick through spiral from center out, creating a web. Press 1 spider ring onto each "web."

 

3 To make Eyeball Cupcakes, drop 1/2 teaspoon vanilla frosting from small bowl onto each frosted cupcake. Lightly press 1 candy-coated chocolate piece in center of each. Use black decorating gel for pupil and red decorating gel to draw red squiggly veins radiating around edge of white frosting.

 

4 To make Grave Cupcakes, write "epitaphs" on one end of each cookie using black decorating gel. Press cookies into cupcakes to form "gravestones." Sprinkle cookie crumbs around each "gravestone"; add candy pumpkin to one side.
