These ants were my first attempt. The idea book had the ants on light green frosting but I thought they would be cuter on green sprinkles. I was wrong. They didn't really stand out on the dark green. Maybe if I had light green sprinkles instead of the dark green.
We used black, brown and red jelly beans.
The red ones were cinnamon flavored since they were supposed to be fire ants.
The chocolate frosting was also Trader Joe's premade mix.
Because, of course, my summer is too crazy busy with too many trips and no time to bake real stuff.
Ellie, my niece, did most of the decorating work on the cupcakes. She is a natural!
We lined up our ants so we could figure out how many we had.
Some cupcakes were lucky enough to have two ants. :)
The ants legs were piped with black frosting from a little ziploc bag.
Ellie did all the legs too!
Oh, two cute!! Get it? "Two" instead of "too"?
