Halloween Party Food for Adults: Ghost Cupcakes
Equipment
- Black Cupcake Liners
Ingredients
- 1 Box Chocolate Cake Mix, Any Brand,+ Box Ingredients
- Vanilla Frosting
- Large Marshmallows
- Wilton Black Icing W/ Round Tip
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line (2) 12 count muffin tins with cupcake liners.
- Prepare the cupcake batter according to package directions.
- Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes. Around 18 minutes insert a toothpick into a cupcake and if it comes out clean they are done.
- Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool completely.
- Once the cupcakes are cool, spread a little bit of frosting on the bottom of a marshmallow and place it on top of the cupcake. Repeat this step with all the cupcakes.
- Once the cupcakes have cooled down sufficiently, it will be safe to add the eyes and complete the finishing touches. Store and in a cool baking tin or cupcake holder with a lid, as to stop little fingers from spoiling your hard work.
- Scoop the vanilla frosting into a microwave-safe glass dish and heat for about 10 seconds. Remove from the microwave and stir.
- Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the melted vanilla frosting over the top of each marshmallow sitting on top of the cupcakes. Let is cover all sides. Repeat with all the cupcakes.
- Let the cupcakes set a few minutes and then use the black icing to give each ghost (2) eyes and a mouth.
- Now you hard work has resulted in 24 cupcakes, these should be the talk of the party and devilishly ghoulish enough for any Halloween Party.
Notes
- Bake chocolate cupcakes and let them cool.
