Graduation Cupcakes

My nephew was having a kindergarten promotion and I was in charge of the dessert. I wanted something extra fun for the little guys and they loved these.


You'll need:
12 upside down cupcakes
12 graham cracker halves
12  chocolate candies
icing licorice

Ice the sides of the cupcakes and the tops of the cracker in the colors of your choice. Use a dab of icing to stick the cracker to the cake. Place one candy in the center of each cracker. Use a pair of kitchen shears to cut the licorice into 3 inch pieces and then cut strips 2/3 of the way up to look like tassles. Use a little icing to attach the tassles to the cracker.


P.S. This is the cake I made to go with it.
