Ingredients
Directions
Step 1
Prepare cupcakes according to package directions. Let cool completely.
Step 2
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.

The base of the spider cupcakes is typically a moist and fluffy chocolate cake, topped with a generous swirl of rich and creamy frosting. The real magic happens when the cupcakes are adorned with edible spider decorations, such as black licorice legs and candy eyes, to create a realistic spider appearance. The combination of the sweet and fluffy cake with the slightly creepy decorations makes for a delightful and playful dessert that is both delicious and visually appealing. Whether you're hosting a Halloween party or just looking for a fun and unique dessert to liven up your dessert table, spider cupcakes are the perfect choice.
