Ingredients

  • 1 (15 Ounce) Box Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 3 Each Large Eggs
  • ½ Cups Vegetable Oil
  • 1-¼ Cups Water
  • 1 (16 Ounce) Container Chocolate Frosting
  • 30 Each Oreo Cookies icing removed, crushed
  • 12 Each Oval Cookies halved
  • 1 (8.8 Ounce) Package White Fondant Icing
  • 2 Drops Black Food Color
  • 4 Drops Green Food Color
  • 1 Each Black Food Marker
  • 1 Each Red Food Marker
  • 24 Each Candy Eyes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and in a mixing bowl mix the cake mix per box instructions.
    1 (15 Ounce) Box Chocolate Cake Mix, 3 Each Large Eggs, ½ Cups Vegetable Oil, 1-¼ Cups Water
  • 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.
    30 Each Oreo Cookies
  • Spread chocolate frosting onto each cupcake.
    1 (16 Ounce) Container Chocolate Frosting
  • Break each oval cookie in half (or use a knife) and write RIP on each cookie half.
    12 Each Oval Cookies, 1 Each Black Food Marker
  • 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.
    1 (8.8 Ounce) Package White Fondant Icing, 2 Drops Black Food Color, 4 Drops Green Food Color
  • 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.
    24 Each Candy Eyes, 1 Each Red Food Marker

Notes

You'll want to wear gloves when working with the food dye as you'll have funny colored hands at the end.
