Steps
1
Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
2
Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 24 cupcakes. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
3
Frost cupcakes with frosting. Decorate with whole or cut-up gumdrops, candies, cut-up or thinly rolled fruit snacks and gel to look like ladybugs, bumblebees, butterflies, caterpillars and beetles.

If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.
When cutting gumdrops, dip knife or kitchen scissors into water to keep from sticking.
Look for paper baking cups in festive colors and special designs at your supermarket, party store or paper warehouse.
If you'd like to display your bug cupcakes with some green coconut grass, place 2 cups shredded coconut in resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add about 8 drops green liquid food color; seal bag and shake to mix.
