Directions

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.

3) Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

4) On large round platter or pizza pan, arrange cupcakes, placing them close together.

5) Using a medium bowl, mix food color and frosting. Spread frosting over cupcakes and spaces in between to create 1 large circle of frosting.

6) 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.

7) To create the web design, drag a toothpick from the center dot to the outer edge of the circle, about 12 times.
