GOIN’ FISHIN’ CUPCAKES

1 box devil's food cake mix
Water, oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
1 container (1 lb) creamy vanilla frosting
Blue liquid or paste food color
Fishing Poles
24 cocktail straws
24 pieces thick craft thread, dental floss or fish line, each 6 1/2 inches long
24 Shark Bites chewy fruit snacks (2 to 3 packets)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. Make cake mix as directed on box, using water, oil and eggs. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack. Coot completely, about 30 minutes. Mix frosting and a few drops of food color. Frost cupcakes with blue frosting. Pull up on frosting, using metal spatula, so frosting looks like waves. Cut each straw to make one 3-inch piece. Insert piece of craft thread into end of each straw to look like fish line. Attach 1 shark snack to end of each piece of craft thread. Decorate cupcakes with fishing poles. Store loosely covered at room temperature. Makes 24 cupcakes.
