These Zombie Cupcakes are super cute and spooky. Chocolate cupcakes topped with a chocolate frosting and crumbled Oreo cookies with a delicious fondant zombie on top.
Preheat oven to 350°F and in a mixing bowl mix the cake mix per box instructions.
Divide the cake batter evenly, about 3 tablespoons each cupcake, into a cupcake tray with cupcake liners. Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow to cool.
Add the oreo cookies (without icing) to a resealable bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Spread chocolate frosting onto each cupcake.
Break each oval cookie in half (or use a knife) and write RIP on each cookie half.
Push each cookie into the back of a cupcake leaving space in front to lay out the zombie. Sprinkle crushed Oreos to represent the soil being disturbed.
Take the fondant and split into two. Add a few drops of green onto one and a few drops of black onto the other. We need a good color for grass and a nice pale grey for the zombie.
Start shaping the grass and the zombie like you're using play-doh. Press two candy eyes into each zombie head then use the red marker to make some blood and the black marker to add a little detail.
Notes
You'll want to wear gloves when working with the food dye as you'll have funny colored hands at the end.
