"This project bridges the holidays and makes a terrific dessert centerpiece for gatherings from Halloween to Thanksgiving. The patch is made from both standard size and mini cupcakes baked in white or orange liners. Cupcakes are topped with a bonnet of orange frosting. The icing is rolled in orange sugar and the ribs are shaped by pressing a bamboo skewer into the frosting. The patch is finished off with licorice for stems and tendrils. Then pick your favorite and start eating!..."
