Bugs

A couple of months ago one of my coworkers asked if I could make some bug cupcakes for her son's birthday party. To make the bugs I took melting chocolate and piped it into the shapes of different bugs (spiders, centipedes, scorpions, etc.) on parchment paper. Then you place m&m's onto the chocolate to make it look like a bug. You have to work fast because the melting chocolate hardens quickly so you need to have your m&m's ready before you start.

After you decorate the chocolate with the m&m's let them sit for a few minutes to completely harden and then carefully peel them off of the parchment paper. I decorated the tops of the cupcakes to look like grass, but you could use chocolate frosting and chocolate sprinkles to make it look like dirt instead.
