Leftover Frosting...Throw it Out???

After making the Elmo cake --- I found I had too much colored icing left over. This was just a bit of what was left, I also had 2 piping bags full in the fridge. What do do???

It dawned on me sometime in during the afternoon on Sunday...ladybugs were red and black, how about making a quick batch of ladybug cupcakes? Violet iced them for me this time as my wrist was acting up. They were delivered to my dear friend G this afternoon---much to her 3 boy's delight.

In these tough economic times...it is just a waste to throw out good icing.
