"Elf" Christmas cupcakes

When I got the request to make these cupcakes, I thought that this would be an easy task.  How could cupcakes be any harder than a cake, right?  After making the cupcakes, and the mini cupcakes, I knew that this was going to take forever.  Once I got all of the cupcakes iced, it was time to put the heads on.  Boy was this a testing of my patience!  After putting all of the cupcakes together all of the cupcakes and being proud of the work I'd done, I went to bed at a very late hour.  In the morning I came down stairs to see that half of the Elf heads had fallen off!  By the time I finished repairing most of them, I transported them to their location only to have more of their heads fall off.  Will I ever do these again?  Uh... :(
In spite of the many failures with these cupcakes, they turned out pretty good.
