1 cup sweetened flaked coconut, if desired

STEP 1
Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cups into 24 muffin pan cups; set aside.
STEP 2
Combine all cupcake ingredients in bowl; beat at medium speed until well mixed.
STEP 3
Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin pan cups. Bake 20-22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.
STEP 4
Combine all frosting ingredients except milk in medium bowl. Beat at medium speed, adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency.
STEP 5
Place cupcakes onto 13- to 15-inch round serving plate or pizza pan. (Cupcakes do not have to be in a perfect circle but should be very close together.) Frost over cupcakes and spaces between to create large surface.
STEP 6
Make web design by placing dot of black decorator gel on center of cupcake. Draw 4 circles around dot, using toothpick. Pipe over circles with black decorator gel. Drag toothpick from center dot out to edges of each cupcake.
STEP 7
Create spiders using candies as desired; place onto spider web.
- Small and large tubes of decorator gel and sparkle gel are sold in the baking aisle of most supermarket and craft stores. It is not the same as decorator icing.
- Purchase small plastic spiders to place on top of cake instead of creating them. They can generally be found in craft stores.
