how to make monster cupcakes for halloween 

you will need:

• Cupcakes
  Frosting
  Food coloring
  Disposable decorating bag
  Size “1M” decorating tip
  Rubber band
  Candy eyes

*Find the food coloring, decorating bag, decorating tip and candy eyes in the craft store. Choose any color food coloring (purple used here).

Directions:

Step 1: Prepare your favorite cupcakes according to the recipe and let cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare frosting according to your favorite recipe, or, use store-bought frosting. (TIP: To thicken store-bought frosting so it’s easier to pipe, stir in confectioner’s sugar until the desired consistency is reached.) Tint the frosting your preferred color. Fit a decorating bag with the tip, fill with frosting, and close tightly with a rubber band.

Step 3: Working with one cupcake at a time, pipe a swirl of frosting on top of the cupcake and immediately attach several eyes.
