Great Pumpkin Cupcakes

Every year, my siblings and I host a very small get together - just us and significant others plus kids - and watch "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown."  I usually make cupcakes, but since I started decorating, I decided to kick it up a notch this year.

Got this idea on Real Simple, I think - maybe somewhere else. It's simply a circle of white fondant draped over an unwrapped dum dum lollipop.  The eyes are drawn on with edible black marker.  It was easy, but a little time consuming. Decided to make our top cupcake "Charlie Brown" is his overly-snipped ghost costume.  Cupcakes were orange velvet - frosting was chocolate buttercream.  They were great!
