Spider Cupcake Instructions:

  1. Ice the cupcake with orange icing.
  2. Use chocolate icing to create 3 concentric circles on top of the cupcake, each one smaller than the other.
  3. Use a toothpick to gently pull a line from the center through the concentric lines towards the outer edge. Clean the toothpick and repeat again until you have created a web.
  4. Cut a Tootsie Roll into two pieces. One piece larger than the other. Microwave for 5 seconds and use your hands to form 2 balls, one smaller than the other. Make the larger one more oval and use that as the body of the spider.
  5. Cut another Tootsie Roll into 8 small pieces and microwave the pieces for about 5 seconds to soften. Rub the small pieces of candy in between your hands to smooth out and to form long legs.
  6. Position the spider’s body on top of the cupcake and bend legs around the body.
  7. Use red icing to create a design on the back of the spider.
