“During a visit several years ago, we let our 3-year-old grandson, Robert, help trim some two dozen of these Mice Cupcakes I was making for a party. It was quite a project…but he enjoyed every minute!”

SERVINGS: 24

CATEGORY: Dessert

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 45 min. Bake: 20 min. + cooling

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) chocolate cake mix
  • 2 cans (16 ounces each) vanilla frosting
  • 48 vanilla wafers
  • Red-hot candies, red gumdrops and red shoestring licorice
