Halloween Cupcakes

Halloween Cupcakes


Happy Halloween everyone! I did not have enough time to make Halloween Sugar Cookies this year but made some Halloween Cupcakes: Zombie Finger and Mummy Cupcakes, and Halloween Linzer Tarts. I used Pillsbury Moist Supreme Devil's Food Premium Cake Mix, and two frostings: Pillsbury Vibrant Green Vanilla and Vanilla for the Mummy Cupcakes. I used several Halloween sprinkle decorations to make the Zombie Finger Cupcakes look a little creepy-spooky. I bought the Zombie Finger Sour Apple Lollipops at Dollar Tree when they first started putting out Halloween stuff. These cupcakes were fun and easy to put together and are a great activity to do with your family.

Make a swirl on each of the zombie finger cupcakes and insert a zombie finger lollipop in the center, and then decorate with desired sprinkles and candy decorations.

To make the mummy cupcakes, use a small offset spatula and dab a light coating of the vanilla frosting over each cupcake and press two eyes into each one.

Make lines going back and forth and up and down to give a mummy effect onto each cupcake.
