In their flights around and about the English countryside where Lizzy lives in Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy

Rescue, Tinker Bell and the other fairies share the air space with a host of other winged creatures, including

honeybees, butterflies, and -- perhaps the most talented flying acrobats of all -- dragonflies. Much like mini

helicopters, these colorful insects are most often found hovering alongside streams and ponds. Or, in the case of

this candy variety, sweetly perched atop a batch of cupcakes.

You'll need:

Batch of cupcakes

White frosting

Blue Sour Punch Straws

Brown M&M's candies

Swedish Fish, red and/or orange

Instructions:

1. Frost the cupcakes.

2. Cut the Sour Punch Straws into 2-inch lengths and place one length atop each cupcake for the dragonfly

bodies. Press the front of each body a bit deeper into the frosting than the tail end.

3. Place an M&Ms candy at the head of each dragonfly body.

4. Arrange four Swedish Fish candies behind each dragonfly head to resemble two sets of wings.
