Graveyard Cupcakes
With
Halloween just around the corner, what better way to celebrate than with
Graveyard Cupcakes? With simple ingredients you can create a creepy graveyard, complete with
headstones and bones. Before you begin to decorate, bake a batch of your favourite cupcakes and a batch of icing to coat. I used our favourite
Easy Chocolate Cake recipe and made
Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Icing to cover them, but any icing would do.
Red velvet cupcakes would also be graveyard worthy.
Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Icing 1/4 cup
butter, softened 4 oz (115 g)
cream cheese (about 1/2 pkg), softened 2 tbsp
smooth peanut butter 2 cups
icing sugar 3 tbsp
whipping cream 1 tsp
vanilla In bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until light; beat in peanut butter until smooth. Beat in icing sugar, ½ cup at a time. Beat in cream and vanilla until smooth. Generously spread icing over tops of cupcakes. Sprinkle or dip into chopped sandwich cookies.
Gravestones and Bones Chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo), finely chopped Pretzel sticks Mini marshmallows White chocolate coating wafers, melted Gravestone shaped cookies (such as Arrowroot and Dare Simple Pleasures) Dark chocolate coating wafers, melted Halloween candies
Break pretzels to desired lengths, insert ends into marshmallows; dip in white chocolate. Dip cookies in dark chocolate. Use melted white chocolate to pipe outline and details. [caption id="attachment_5333" align="alignnone" width="306"]
Before the chocolate sets, add any desired candy or sanding sugar.[/caption] Insert gravestones into icing, arrange bones over top and around cupcakes. [caption id="attachment_5334" align="alignnone" width="306"]
