Decorate the top of your cupcakes with candies to make a face.

Tips & Tricks
Tips:
I made these cupcakes and because my family does not like black licorice, I used gummy worms for the legs. I frosted the cakes then put the worms on the top of the frosting then added another glob of frosting in the center for the worms to attach better to the cupcakes.
I also colored the frosting different colors too. We had orange, fudge and white frosting. These were a real hit at home.
