Frosting and Decorating
Frost the cupcakes smoothly with a butterknife.
Pour the orange sparkling sugar into a bowl and dip the frosted cupcakes into the sugar. Gently press to coat all of the frosting in the sprinkles.
Frost the back of a miniature vanilla wafer and adhere it to the bottom half of the cupcake. Add 2 orange M&M's for ears.
Use the black sparkle gel to adhere the edible eyes right above the wafer. Use the gel to pipe a mouth on the wafer and curvy stripes to either side of the wafer.
