These adorable spider cupcakes are so easy to make!  You can use any cupcakes for these little guys including your favorite homemade recipe or a boxed mix!  I like to use chocolate because I like the dark colors but they’d be adorable on red velvet too!  My friend Joan has an awesome Midnight Mint Cupcake recipe that would be a perfect base for these! While the legs can stick into the frosting I find that glueing them with  just a little bit of melted  chocolate helps them to stick exactly in the position you want. I purchased edible eyeballs but you can also use white candy melts.  Squeeze little dots of white candy melts onto parchment paper and top with dots of dark brown/black candy melts.  Refrigerate 5 minutes. The great thing about these toppers is that they’re so easy anyone can make them!  I do love a great decorated cake (like some of these amazing Birthday Cakes for Boys I found over at Spaceships and Laserbeams… did you see the Spiderman one?) but sometimes I just need something quick and these fit the bill!
