Make cake according to package instructions, folding in figs which
have been cut into small pieces. Fill cup cake pans 2/3 full. Bake
25 minutes at 375 F. To make Spooks, turn cup cakes upside down.
Place a dab of icing in the center, and set whole California dried
fig upright with the stem standing erect at the top. Let stand until
firm, then ice the whole thin with soft white butter icing. Let icing
flow around the base of the cake to resemble a sheet. Mark off slits
for eyes. Weird-looking; wonderful-tasting!
