Bake for 15 to 18 mins until a toothpick comes out clean or the top bounces back when pressed with your finger.
Allow cupcakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
Then remove them from the tins and let them finish cooling on a wire rack.
Fit a piping bag or ziploc bag with a 1M or 2D piping tip.
Add frosting to the bag.
3 cups store-bought buttercream frosting
Pipe a circle around the top of each cupcake with the buttercream frosting.
Place an Oreo in the middle of the cupcake on top of the icing.
24 Oreo cookies
With the black decorators icing, pipe “legs” going from the oreo cookie down the sides of the cupcake.
1 tube black decorator icing
Add a small dab of icing on the backs of the eyeball candies and stick them to the top of the oreo cookies.
48 small candy eyeballs
Notes
The cake mix and store-bought frosting can be replaced with your favorite homemade cupcake and buttercream icing recipes.
Or for an even easier version, buy pre-made cupcakes that already have icing on them and just add the Oreo spider decorations to them.
Putting the buttercream frosting on the cupcakes doesn’t have to be done with a piping bag. You can just spread the icing on with a knife, but piping the frosting will yield a prettier design.
If you don't have a piping bag and tips, adding the decorator icing to a small ziploc bag and cutting a small hole in one corner will also work.
Substitute black licorice, pretzel sticks or rolled black fondant for the legs if you don't want to use the icing.
