Holly Wreath Cupcakes: Use green-tinted frosting instead of orange. Squeeze circles of red decorating gel on each cupcake to make wreath, and decorate with small, red, cinnamon candy "berries."
Betty's Tip: Get the kids to help! Kids can make spider legs without cutting gumdrops by pinching and gently rolling gumdrops back and forth between their fingertips into long thin strips. The more they roll them, the stickier the gumdrops will become. Have the kids dip rolled gumdrops in sugar as needed to make them less sticky.
