Hoppy Summer

I made these cupcakes this morning for my daughter's kindergarten class party tomorrow. I found the idea on-line by doing a search for "frog cupcakes." I saw the picture and thought, "Oh, easy peasy." Well, it was going well until I had to do the black eyes. I started out with black gel, but it wanted to run...then I went to tinted black frosting and although the consistency was good, it wasn't black, but rather purple....so then I tried mini-chocolate chips, no good....so, back to the black gel. This time I layed the cupcake down, put the black gel eyes on and let it sit for a minute or two to "harden up" before I sat it upright. So far, so good!
