  Cut dots in half - Red for the bolts should be cut in half down the middle sideways and you can match up the small ends with the big ends for uniformity and cut the Green ones length wise for his arms/legs. (if you don't have enough of one color, the pink or orange can be substituted for the bolts and yellow for the arms/legs. Otherwise, buy an additional box of dots and enjoy eating the leftovers!

  Once the dye drys, make a face with the Decorating icing.... eyebrows, eyes, and mouth. Let that dry before putting on the cupcakes.

  Assemble: Put the Marshmallow just behind the center of the cupcake on the icing. With your spreader, use a little of the Cream cheese icing on the flat(or cut) side of the bolts to help it stick to the sides of his head. Then just put down two green halves as arms.
