Ingredients
515-g pkg devil's food cake mix
3 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/3 cups water
450-g container chocolate frosting
450-g container vanilla frosting, using about half the container
Instructions
Follow directions on cake package, using eggs, oil and water for cupcake preparation as well as baking times. Cool cupcakes, then generously spread each with 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 mL) chocolate frosting. Heat vanilla frosting in a microwave on high just until it starts to liquefy, from 20 to 30 seconds. Stir to a smooth consistency. For spiderweb decoration, work with 3 cupcakes at a time. From tip of a pointed spoon, drizzle a small circle of frosting in centre of cupcake, then 2 larger ones around it, leaving a 1/4-inch (0.5-cm) space between each circle. Using a toothpick, start in centre of cupcake and drag it toward edge. Repeat in a circular pattern until spiderweb is complete. If frosting stiffens and is difficult to drizzle, reheat in microwave.
