Start by making the cupcakes according to the box. Once the cupcakes are cooled, you can begin frosting. With a star shape frosting tip, start by adding a dab of frosting in the middle of the cupcake. Make the frosting look hairy by lifting up an leaving a tail to the star shape. Next frost around this first dab and continue around until the cupcake is covered. If you are using licorice wheels, unroll the wheel and cut at the length you would like your spider legs to be. Separate down the middle where the licorice is segmented, so you will have 2 skinny spider legs. Stick the end of the licorice with the poky side of the toothpick, and stick the toothpick into the cupcake. Add four legs to each side. Dab a black bit of frosting on to two of the Smartie or Neccos, to make eyes. To finish, place the eyes onto the cupcake. Enjoy!

Great work.
I need to learn what tip you used for the chocolate icing!
Ellees, in the directions it says a star tip, but doesn't give the size. She also explains that you make it "look hairy" by lifting up and leaving a "tail" on the star as you work. You just pull the tip away while still squeezing the icing to give it that look with the point falling over.

I haven't tried it myself yet, but I would probably try a medium star tip first and see what happens.
