Picture of the Baby Spider Cupcakes recipe
* 1 box (18 oz.) chocolate cake mix
* 1 cup Hellmann's or Best Foods Real Mayonnaise
* 1 cup water
* 3 eggs
* 1 can (16 oz.) vanilla frosting
* 20 drops yellow food coloring
* 4 drops red food coloring
* Black cake decorating frosting with small decorating tip
* 24 large black gum drops
* 24 small black gum drops
* Chow mein noodles
1. Preheat oven to 350. Line 24 cupcake pans with paper cupcake liners; set aside.
2. In large bowl, with electric mixer on low speed, beat cake mix, Hellmanns or Best Foods Real Mayonnaise, water and eggs 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed, scraping sides occasionally, 2 minutes. Evenly pour into prepared pans.
3. Bake 18 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. On wire rack, cool 10 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely.
4. Reserve 1 tablespoon white frosting. Mix food coloring into remaining frosting; frost cupcakes.
5. Draw 3 circles on each cupcake with black frosting. With toothpick, pull through 6 to 7 lines from center of each cupcake to the edge forming a web. Into large gum drops, insert 8 noodles for legs, then attach small gum drops to large gum drops with noodle for head. With toothpick, use reserved white frosting to draw eyes. Arrange spiders on cupcakes.
