Firecrackers

5 cups angel flake coconut
red food coloring
24 baked cupcakes, cooled
1 tub (12 oz) cool whip, thawed
blue decorating gel
red string licorice (pull aparts)

Tint coconut using red food coloring.

Trim any "lips" off the edges of cupcakes. Using a small amount of whipped topping, attach bottomes of 2 cupcakes together. Repeat with remaining cupcakes. Stand attached cupcakes on 1 end on a serving plate or tray.

Frost with remining cool whip. Press coconut onto sides.

Draw a star on top of each firecraker with decorating gel. Insert pieces of licorice for fuses. Store in fridge.
