1 pk Cake mix
-- gold, spice or white
1/2 c California dried figs
-- stemmed
Soft white butter icing
Make cake according to package instructions, folding in figs which have
been cut into small pieces. Fill cup cake pans 2/3 full. Bake 25 minutes
at 375 F. To make Spooks, turn cup cakes upside down. Place a dab of
icing in the center, and set whole California dried fig upright with the
stem standing erect at the top. Let stand until firm, then ice the whole
thin with soft white butter icing. Let icing flow around the base of the
cake to resemble a sheet. Mark off slits for eyes. Weird-looking;
wonderful-tasting!
