Piggy Cupcakes!

A friend of ours had a pig roast. So, I couldn't resist making pig cupcakes for the occasion. I looked at several versions online and, of course, I had to make up my own. I considered several candies to use for the ears and snout before I settled on this version which uses Sour Patch Watermelon slices cut in half to make the ears. The eyes and nose were made with black "sparkle gel" from Wilton. I dipped a toothpick into the black and made tiny dots on the snout. I think they turned out pretty cute!
