Ants?!

I went to a picnic today with my neighbours and made some cupcakes for it.  I took the basic idea from the book "What's new, cupcake?"  A constant visitor of picnics is our friend the ant.  Also, my neighbourhood has had quite an infestation of ants this summer, which made it a bit more appropriate.  I flipped one of my cupcakes upside-down to make an ant hill with brown sugar for the dirt.  The rest were covered in green frosting with some "grass" as piped icing.  The ants themselves are made of three Junior Mints with black icing for legs and antennae.  In any case, they were popular with my neighbours and earned me a hug.
