Oogie Boogie Cupcakes

I love that I added the kids corner, there are so many

fun things out there for kids whether it's DIY or food.

Halloween is around the corner so I thought I would

share this recipe, I made it years ago for CJ's

birthday party. How many you make depends on how

many boxes of cake mix you buy.

Ingredients:

box of chocolate cake mix

plastic decorating bag for piping

black licorice

cupcake frosting tinted "monster" green

kitchen scissors

toothpicks

cupcake holders

marshmallows

gummy worms optional

Create:

Make your cupcakes according to box directions

and then let cool completely.

Frost the cupcakes with a thin layer of icing.

Place a half marshmallow on the center of each frosted cupcake.

Cut off the tip of the plastic decorating bag so that

the opening is about 3/4" wide. Then fill the bag with

green frosting, don't fill the bag to full.

Working with one cupcake at a time, pipe frosting around

the base of the marshmallow and then up and over it;

moving toward the center and ending with a large peak.

Smooth the surface of the frosting with a butter knife,

periodically dipping the tip of the knife in water so icing

will be easier to spread. Don't worry about making it perfectly

smooth it will look even more like Oogie Boogie

with a few lumps and wrinkles.

Snip a pair of narrow licorice eyes and a wide licorice

mouth for each cupcake. use the tip of a toothpick to

gently press the candy pieces into the frosting face,

angling the eyes a bit to resemble Oogie Boogie.

If making these for a party, place cupcakes on a

tray with gummy worms placed out on the tray to

resemble the worms he had on him.
