Because it was way over our budget to invite the entire kindergarten class to The Dormouse's birthday party, I felt badly and wanted to do something for all her friends at school. It started out as just cupcakes, but a spider theme had been established and it quickly got out of control.
Yeah... I made thirty-six of these little suckers with The KoH's help before we decided if we made any more they might come to life and take over the house.
I thought I was smarter than that.
Just goes to show you: no one ever went broke inventing something to improve your sex life or spoil your kids. (This would fall into the latter category, in case there was any doubt.)

Hilarious!!!!
And I can't believe you did this. I'd be like, "Uh Costco, can you help me out here!?"
Will you post how you did this? SOOO cute.

@fourney: This is ridiculously easy because Martha Stewart, I ain't. Just incredibly time consuming. The legs are red licorice whips (or in this case, pull apart Twizzlers, because I couldn't find normal licorice whips) stuck into the cupcake. The eyes are mini marshmallows cut in half. We poked a hole in them with a skewer and pushed a mini chocolate chip in the hole - point side down - for the pupil. Ta da.
