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.

DIY Tangled Inspired Paper Lanterns

  I am trying to pick some of the Disney movies a lot of kids love, for the week ahead. I love Tangled, I think the way they did it was great! I was always a huge Beauty & the Beast fan and while that will forever be my all time favorite the newer Disney movies are just awesome with the animation and the songs. I have a whole Disney playlist on my phone for Celeste and you guessed it Tangled is on there, that is one of her favorites as well. I found this DIY and knew I had to blog it that way when she is older we can make them together. Here's what you'll need: construction paper toilet paper rolls scissors glue crayons Create: First, put construction paper around the toilet paper roll. Measure the construction paper and cut it to fit to size. It doesn't have to be perfect. On some of the rolls you can decide to add extra decorations. Like the Rapunzel sun and swirls before you glue it on to the toilet paper roll. Remember this ...
