Ingredients

  • 2 Boxes Cake Mix vanilla and chocolate
  • 2 Cups Chocolate Frosting
  • 2 Cups Vanilla Frosting
  • ¼ Cup Sprinkles black/brown
  • Eyeballs sugar decorations
  • Food Coloring red, yellow, black and green
  • Hershey Kisses

Instructions

  • Make your favorite cupcakes - either your own recipe or you can make a box mix to make things easier.
  • Mix frosting - again, either use your own recipe or use store bought ready to use. You'll need both chocolate and vanilla.
  • Take a small batch of the vanilla frosting and mix green food color into it until you get a good dark green color for the frankenstein cupcakes.
  • Put green icing into a piping bag or resealable bag with a smalll corner cut out and pipe onto the chocolate cupcakes.
  • Take the dark sprinkles and arrange on the top for Frankie's hair. Then add two eyeballs. Take two Hershey Kisses and insert into the sides for his bolts.
  • Take a vanilla cupcake and pipe white frosting on top to form the shape of a ghost.
  • Add 2 eyeballs and a Herskey Kiss for a ghostly mouth.
  • Melt some white chocolate just until it is ready to drizzle. Drizzle onto wax paper in the shape of a spider web. Make sure webs are not too big. Place the wax paper in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden again.
  • Mix black food color into some chocolate frosting to make black frosting. Pipe onto a chocolate cupcake and arrange the spider web on top.
  • Take 2 more bowls and some vanilla frosting. In one bowl mix yellow food color and the other mix orange.
  • Fill another resealable bag - one side orange frosting and on top of that the yellow frosting - this way the frosting will squeeze out of the piping bag as two colors combined. This will give a sort of candy corn theme.

Notes

Make your frosting firm - especially for Frankie!
