In which I confess my baking (decorating) failure

Coop's class had a Halloween party, and he wanted to sign up to bring snacks.  Fine.  I can round up 26 baggies of candy corn.  But no.  That simply would not do.  Coop saw these in a magazine and had to have them:

I showed Coop, apologized, and suggested we just do witch hat cupcakes:

He agreed, but only because it meant we could save (and eat!) all of the candy eyeballs I had purchased.
