Instructions
Make cupcakes according to package directions and let cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add butter and mix well.
Add vanilla.
Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, scraping down sides periodically.
Add about 10 drops green food coloring or until desired color; set aside.
In a small bowl mix coconut flakes and water.
Add enough green food coloring until coconut is completely coated; set aside.
Unwrap starbursts and cut all of them in half.
Place startbursts on a plate and heat for 15 seconds.
Roll each starburst half into the shape of a carrot. {You may need to reheat them for about ten seconds if they get too hard again to work with.}
With a steak knife or a BBQ skewer, make a hole in the top of each carrot.
Cut your Twizzlers into 1/4 inch pieces and pull apart.
Place a couple Twizzlers pieces in the hole of your carrot and form the startburst around them to seal it.
With a knife, slightly cut a few indents into each carrot to add a little texture.
Now for the assembly - frost each cupcake with your green frosting.
Spring the desired amount of coconut on top.
Place 3 carrots into the cupcake to resemble carrots growing in the grass and dirt.
