Web-worthy Halloween cupcakes. Nothing sends shivers down the spine like spiders! These cupcakes are also great for decorating a table.

Steps
- Spiderweb Display:
- Before you bake them, pipe white fondant icing onto a large, flat surface (cardboard, black foam core board, large black cutting board, etc) in the shape of an over-sized spider web.
- Allow the fondant to completely dry and harden before placing the spider cupcakes on top in various positions, as if they are crawling across the web.
- Cupcakes:
- Since the spiders should be black, we suggest using a chocolate base cake and dark chocolate frosting on top; or a buttercream frosting dyed brown or black.
- For the cupcake baking paper, use black paper to keep the spider all dark.
- To create legs, cut licorice string into four-inch long pieces. Insert four legs into each side of the cupcake to create eight legs.
- Using red cinnamon pieces or M&Ms with the logo side down, create creepy red eyes for your spider.
- Complete the venomous look by inserting two little marshmallow fangs below the eyes where the mouth would be. Make the marshmallows the correct shape by using scissors to cut them into pointy little pieces.
