Ingredients
Scale
Cupcakes
- 24 cupcakes (store-bought or homemade)
Frosting
- 4 cups buttercream frosting
- Gel food colorings (blue, green, orange, purple, and yellow)
Decorations
- 48 candy eyes
Instructions
- Divide and Color the Frosting: Separate the buttercream frosting into several bowls, one for each color you want to create. Add a small dab of gel food coloring to each bowl — a little goes a long way — and use a toothpick to mix the color thoroughly into the frosting, achieving vibrant shades.
- Fill the Piping Bags: Spoon the colored frostings into piping bags fitted with your preferred tips. This allows for precise and decorative frosting application. Make sure the bags are filled evenly for ease of piping.
- Pipe Frosting on Cupcakes: Using the filled piping bags, pipe the colorful frosting onto each cupcake, creating fun and whimsical monster designs. Get creative with swirls, spikes, or blob shapes to resemble monster fur or features.
- Add Candy Eyes: Finish decorating by pressing two candy eyes onto each cupcake while the frosting is still soft. This gives each cupcake its cute monster personality.
Notes

- You can bake cupcakes from scratch or use store-bought for convenience.
- Get creative with the piping tips to vary textures and monster looks.
- These cupcakes are perfect for Halloween parties, birthdays, or themed events.
