Buy:

1 box yellow cake mix
1 can frosting (white or pastel color)
Green decorating sugar
Thin red string licorice
Small jelly beans or assorted colorful candies

Make cupcakes from cake mix as directed on box and spread with frosting. Sprinkle green sugar over top and decorate with jelly beans and candies. Cut licorice into strips about 5 to 6 inches long. Curve to make handles and poke ends through side of cupcake. Helps to chill handles before trying to poke them in cake. A nice added touch is to buy about 5 yards of very narrow pastel colored ribbon and cut into strips of about 9 inches and tie bows on the licorice handles.
