Cupcake Apparitions

Jeremy signed me up to make cupcakes for his class this year and this is what we came up with.

I saw the idea for the ghosts on the internet using just gumdrops but that makes one tiny ghost even with the jumbo drops so in a stroke of genius (and a massive sugar high) I unwrapped a bunch of dum dums I bought for the trick or treaters and came up with this instead.

I’m so proud of myself. I used a #3 piping tip from Wilton to punch out the eyes in some marshmallow fondant cut with a cookie cutter the size of a wide mouth mason jar ring and draped it over. It doesn’t get any easier (or cuter) than that. Took me an hour to decorate 25 and that’s because I’m cake challenged, it probably doesn’t take anyone else half as long. Plenty of time left before Halloween to make at least 500 if you want to give it a whirl ;).

Costumes are done. DONE. I’ll show off some more tomorrow!
