Ingredients
24 cupcakes (vanilla or chocolate base)
4 cups buttercream frosting (homemade or store-bought)
48 candy eyes
Assorted gel food coloring (blue, green, orange, purple, yellow)
Instructions
Divide the buttercream frosting into five separate small bowls.
Add a small amount of gel food coloring to each bowl using a toothpick to achieve desired vibrancy.
Fill separate piping bags for each color using a star or grass tip.
Pipe frosting over the entire surface of each cupcake.
Press two candy eyes firmly into the frosting for each monster.
Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set the structure.
Notes
Use gel food coloring instead of liquid to keep frosting consistency thick. Practice your piping on parchment paper first. Add coconut shavings or sprinkles for added monster texture.
