Using a frosting decorator bag, fill with 1/3 cup frosting and squeeze out frosting to make a spider web design.
Squeeze out frosting left in bag and add to remaining 2/3 C of frosting. Use food colors to color frosting. See tip on making orange.
Refill decorator bag with frosting and swirl frosting over tops of muffins (in a circular pattern.).
Cut licorice into 2-inch pieces.
For each spider, press 8 licorice pieces into frosting for legs; add 2 raisins for eyes.
Arrange spiders on serving tray around the web.
Tip: To make orange food coloring, use about twice as many drops of yellow color as red and stir thoroughly.
