Trader Joes box mix = YUM!
Everything shown here was either purchased at Michaels, "Do it with icing" in
Clairemont, and Party City (M&M's)
This is the red that you want to use and use it with butter cream frosting (do not use any of the stuff that comes in a tub from the grocery store).
Add just enough so that it is not too crazy red -the color will brighten up after some time.
You can either use an Oreo cakester (left) for the head or a blob of black
icing from the can (right). Licorice whip for the line on the body.
I used the black icing to glue on my eyes
The aphids were just the black M&M's and black icing.
The one on the bottom right corner has black licorice pieces.
