Monkey Cupcakes

You don't have to be a cake decorating pro to make these cute monkey cupcakes.  I recently made these for the cake walk at my grandson's school carnival. They would be perfect for a birthday party or anytime you want to put a smile on someone's face!

Ingredients

1 box cake mix of your choice
1 container chocolate frosting
24 - 30 vanilla wafer cookies
50 - 60 mini vanilla wafer cookies
50 - 60 candy eyes (sold in the cake decorating section)

Instructions

Prepare cake mix for cupcakes according to package instructions.
Allow to cool.
Frost each cupcake with chocolate frosting.
Place a large vanilla wafer on top for the nose and mouth.
Add two eyes and place two mini vanilla wafers on the sides as ears.
Place additional chocolate icing into piping bag (or sandwich bag with the tip snipped off).
Pipe mouth and nose on top of large vanilla wafer.
