     Title: Fig Spooks
Categories: Holiday, Halloween
     Yield: 1 batch

     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!
