Step 1: What You'll Need for Zombie Cupcakes
- Zombie cupcakes don't require special supplies. You probably have most of what you need for zombie cupcakes in your kitchen already. Whatever you don't have already can probably be picked up at your local grocery store. If you want to, however, there are specialty figurines and supplies sold at party stores that you can use to enhance your zombie cupcakes. To get started, you should assemble:
- Cupcakes, baked and cooled. Red velvet cupcakes work particularly well for zombie cupcakes.
- Frosting
- Food coloring, in colors such as green, black, and red
- A spoon, spatula or knife to spread the frosting
- Assorted candies
Step 2: Zombie Cupcake Tips
- While there are no rules when it comes to decorating zombie cupcakes, here are some ideas to get you started:
- Eyes can be created using M&Ms or chocolate covered mint candies.
- Use mini marshmallows or candy corn for teeth.
- Red fruit leather can be used to create red scars.
- Use black rope licorice for hair or wherever you need an outline.
- Too much food coloring can turn frosting bitter, so you may need to balance taste vs. aesthetics if you're looking to make a dark green zombie.
