If you need a last minute Halloween treat for this Wednesday, these adorable mummy cupcakes are perfect! They’re super simple to make, as it’s just a regular chocolate cake and white frosting. You’ll also need a flat frosting tip (#45), frosting bag and Wilton monster eyes and that’s it! I used this chocolate cake recipe and I actually used frosting from a can! You can definitely make your own frosting, which I usually do, but I was in a hurry and it worked great : ) Dab a small amount of frosting on the back of the eyes, then stick them on the cupcake. Using a flat frosting tip, make lines across the cupcake, layering them and making different angles. It will start to resemble a mummy! Don’t forget to leave those little eyes poking out!

I didn’t have the tip you used & made some green & some white, but turned out cute just the same.
Everyone thought they were too fun. Thanks for the recipe!

October 29, 2018 at 11:49 amI attempted to make mummies however the canned frosting I used as per the recipe would not hold its shape, so I ended up with a sort of ditzy snowman.
