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.
