These are cute. I made them for a kids' Spring party. I used two worms on each cupcake -- 1 across the middle and 1 cut in half with each half sticking in opposite sides of the cupcake (looks like a worm going in under and coming out from under the other worm). The kids thought they were "cool." My cake mix yielded 18 cupcakes. I barely used 1 cup of "dirt" crumbs. Read More

I used this recipe with a vanilla/chocolate swirl cake mix and it was really really good! Everyone at the Halloween party commented on how cute the cake was and they especially LOVED the taste. You can guarantee that this will be my signature Halloween dish. Thank you! Read More

So simple and so fun. Kids love these. I also like to sprinkle crushed up oreos on top to resemble dirt. Thanks! Read More

Good recipe. I made it for my son's Bambi/Woodland party at school and the kids loved them (I thought they were tasty too). I did have a lot of the dirt topping left over though. Read More
