Bug Cupcakes
Clever slicing and colored icing transform simple cupcakes into real delights. Gumdrop heads and licorice antennae may be the first thing picked off and popped into happy mouths. Finally, something from the insect world you don't have to grab out of children's curious hands. You can use either the Swiss Meringue Buttercream or Simple Sugar Icing to frost these cupcakes -- both work equally well.
