Tips & Warnings
For an added touch, use a rolling pin to flatten some yellow taffy. Cut the sides to form a Railroad Crossing sign, and use a black gel icing tube to make an "X" and two "R's" as you would see on a typical Railroad Crossing sign. Use a toothpick to secure it to the cupcake.
Crush some Oreo-type cookies over the "ground" part of the cupcake to represent dirt.
