i got the idea from my new cupcake book hello, cupcake!!!!! Makes 24 cupcakes

Instructions

  1. Small 12148

    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.)

  2. Small 12149

    fill liners 2/3rds the way full so they dont over flow the liners. bake and let cool.

  3. Small 12150

    while cakes are cooling. Place melts into ziplock bags

  4. Small 12151

    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!!!!!

    put in microwave for 30 sec incramemts until fully melted. do the same for dark chocolate.

  12. Small 12159

    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.

  13. Small 12160

    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.

  14. Small 12161

    peel wax paper off of wings. place on wings.

  15. Small 12162

    Die remaining frosting black. place in ziplock bag. cut corner. pipe in a circular motion down the center for body and then at the top for anntenna. (i originally made chocolate antenna but it was so hot my hands kept melting them when i tried to put them on! sad. but they are still cute!!!!!)
