Very cute cupcakes and so easy! Mine turned out perfect. I used black coffee stirs and white dental floss. All I could find at the store were red gummy fish. To dye the frosting, I purchased Betty Crocker's buttercream frosting, emptied the container into a bowl, added blue dyeing gel and beat it on low speed until the frosting was a good color blue. The children loved them (and so did the dad they were made for)!

I made similar cupcakes years ago. Pretzel sticks make good fishing rods and licorice laces are the best line....looks like old fashioned fly rod. Thank you for all good ideas.
