Ingredients
Scale
Cupcake
- 12 cupcakes, your favorite recipe
Frosting
- 2 cups vanilla buttercream
- Royal icing eyes, enough for 12 cupcakes
Instructions
- Frost cupcakes: Using a knife or a straight spatula, frost each cupcake with vanilla buttercream, covering all visible cupcake tops completely to create a smooth base.
- Add eyes: Place two royal icing eyes on each frosted cupcake to give them the mummy’s eerie look.
- Pipe mummy ribbons: Fit a piping bag with a No. 44 basketweave decorating tip and fill it with vanilla buttercream. Pipe flat frosting ribbons across the cupcake, crisscrossing them to mimic mummy bandages. Continue layering until the desired mummy appearance is achieved.
- Serve and enjoy: Let the cupcakes set for a few minutes if needed, then serve and enjoy your spooky Halloween mummy cupcakes!
Notes
- You can use store-bought cupcakes and frosting to save time.
- Royal icing eyes can be substituted with candy eyes or drawn with edible markers.
- Chill cupcakes briefly after piping to help the frosting firm up and hold its shape.
- For extra spooky effect, add small icing scars or drips of red gel icing as fake blood.
