  Step 1

  make cake mix according to box directions.

  or make from scratch i was not that ambitious at 2 am :/

  Preheat oven to the time indicated on box.

  line cupcake tin with liners (i used pastel colors cus they matched my wings.)

• 

  Step 2

  fill liners 2/3rds the way full so they dont over flow the liners.

  bake and let cool.

• 

  Step 3

  while cakes are cooling.

  Place melts into ziplock bags

• 

  Step 4

  place in coffee mug.

  DO NOT CLOSE TOP OF BAGGIE!!!!!!.

  it will explode all over your microwave and not to mention it is highly dangerous!!!!!

• 

  Step 5

  when i made them it was 94 degrees out and despite my fan it wouldnt set with out putting them in the fridge!

• 

  Step 12

  die 3/4 of a can or vanilla frosting blue. (or what ever color you want i just chose blue for the sky)

  frost all the cupcakes.

• 

  Step 13

  cut a melt a way in half and place on either side of the cake. to hold up wing.

  you could use m & m's too.
