For a richer flavor, use a dark chocolate cake mix. If you don't have orange decorator sugar, you can use orange sprinkles or finely grated orange zest. Get creative with the eyes! Use different colored candies for a more whimsical look. To make the spider legs more secure, you can dip the ends in melted chocolate before inserting them into the cupcakes.
