Step 1: What You Need to Make Over the Hill Cupcakes
- You can make over the hill cupcakes with items you may already have in your kitchen, supplemented by supplies that are easily found at most grocery stores. Make sure you have the ingredients laid out before you begin.
- Cupcakes, baked an ready to be decorated
- White frosting
- Milano cookies
- Black decorating gel
- A spoon, spatula or knife to spread the frosting
- A large flat work surface, such as a table, to spread out while decorating
Step 2: How to Make Tombstone Cupcakes
- Frost the cupcake, making sure to mound the icing.
- Using the black decorating gel to write RIP, or the guest's age, on the Milano. Keep the writing on the top half of the cookie.
- Stick the Milano into the cupcake, making sure that the writing is visible.
Step 3: Over the Hill Cupcake Tips and Tricks
- While you may be tempted to tint white frosting black, the amount of black food coloring needed will produce a bitter tasting frosting. If you'd like a black topped cookie, use chocolate frosting, and top it with a layer of crushed Oreo cookies.
- Use chocolate Milanos and white decorating icing for half the cookies to give your display variety.
- You can frost the cupcakes with green frosting if you'd like a more colorful cupcake. Top with green tinted coconut to make your grass more realistic.
