- Prep: 20 min
Ingredients
2 cans white frosting
Green food coloring
1 dozen favorite flavor store-bought un-iced cupcakes
Special equipment/decor:
Pastry bag or resealable plastic bag
No. 7 round pastry tip
12 green apple gummy rings or green fruit jells
24 brown chocolate coated candies (recommended: M and M's)
Cashew nuts
Directions
- In a bowl mix together the icing with the green food coloring until desired "monster green" is reached. Put the frosting in a pastry bag or resealable plastic bag fitted with pastry tip. Pipe a haphazard squiggle pattern on top of the cupcake until completely covered and slightly mounded. Put a green gummy ring on top. Create eyes for the monster by putting 2 brown coated candies into the center of the green gummy candy. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes.
- Use cashew nuts to create horns by inserting them into the frosting behind the eyes with the smaller side facing up. Repeat with remaining cupcakes. Arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter and serve.
