These are so easy to make. I can not tell you how many times I have made these cupcakes. I also use orange on some of my lady bugs instead of red to change it up a little. I like to use the no taste red coloring, too. Children are not the only ones that enjoy these... I took them into work one day as a treat and they all could not get over the lady bugs cupcakes! These are so very easy and fun. It takes a little time because you have to frost them first, make slits, pipe black dots and face, pipe white for eyes and mouth, red dot for nose then black dots for eyes. So there is a lot of going back and forth, but once you get into it and get your rhythm going, the next thing you know, you finished! And they are well worth it because they are so cute!

These were super cute and the kids liked them, however I did add antennae to complete her look. I also made the lady bug a bit smaller and piped grass around her. I did on both regular and mini cupcakes.
