Treat your family with a perfect Halloween dessert! Enjoy these wonderful spiderweb cupcakes made with Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ white cake mix and Betty Crocker® Whipped fluffy white frosting.
Updated Dec 16, 2011

Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ White Cake Mix (or other flavor)
  • Water, vegetable oil and egg whites or eggs called for on cake mix box
  • Betty Crocker™ orange gel food color
  • 2 containers Betty Crocker™ Whipped fluffy white frosting
  • 1 tube (0.68 oz) Betty Crocker™ black decorating gel
  • Plastic spiders (for decoration)

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
    Mix and bake cake mix as directed on box for 24 cupcakes. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • 3
    On large round platter or pizza pan, arrange cupcakes, placing them close together. In medium bowl, mix food color and frosting. Spread frosting over cupcakes and spaces in between to create 1 large circle of frosting. Squeeze 1 large dot of black gel in center of frosting. With gel, draw concentric circles around the dot, spacing them about 2 inches apart. To create the web design, drag a toothpick from the center dot to the outer edge of the circle, about 12 times. Place plastic spiders on web. Store loosely covered.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Use gummy spider candies for more color and to make this dessert completely edible.
  • tip 2
    Look for black cupcake liners with a spiderweb motif to complete the theme.
  • tip 3
    To easily transport the spiderweb, build it on a portable deli tray that comes with a cover.
