These are box mix cupcakes, iced with orange-tinted buttercream. The spiders are chocolate-covered cookies. (I think I used Snackwells.) Add small fondant eyes. The eyeballs are candy balls (round sprinkles). The legs are small pieces of black licorice - see if you can find whip licorice. You could also use pretzel sticks in a pinch. Pipe a small red smile on each spider, using red tube icing and a No. 2 Wilton tip.
