road sign/car cupcakes

i made these cupcakes last summer for my little boy's car themed birthday party. they were a huge hit..& lots of fun to make. i made the black frosting really runny to try and imitate 'tar' (which worked out great...it started dripping down the sides of the cupcakes & really completed the 'tar' look). i cut orange licorice for the road stripes, and got marshmallow cars and road sign suckers for the cupcake toppers.
