I am a children's librarian, and recently held a "cake decorating" at our library. The kids got to choose one of four "cupcake designs". Over 150 kids showed up. I chose simple designs that the younger kids could handle. We used white icing for the base. For the hair, we cut candied Orange Slices in half. The eyes were M&M's. The nose was a Ju-ju candy cut in half. The eyebrows and smile were shoestring licorice.
