These monster cupcakes are pretty simple and can easily be customized. Since monsters cn be crazy and vary in shapes, anything goes when it comes to decorating them.
– Solid Color Standard Sized Greaseproof Baking Cups (greaseproof is important in order for the color to stay vibrant after baking)
– Standard sized cupcakes, baked in the greaseproof liners (any flavor)
– Miniature-sized cupcakes, no liners (any flavor)
– Vanilla buttercream frosting, colored in batches to match cupcake liners.
– Piping bags and decorative tips (I used Wilton tips #104, #21, #3)
– 2 small suckers for each monster
– M&M's (or any other small solid color round candy)
Squeeze a small amount of frosting in the middle of each standard sized cupcake. Center a miniature cupcake, upside down, over each standard cupcake, using the frosting to act as a glue. Use desired icing tips to pipe the hair on the monsters.
