Ingredients
Scale
Frosting
- 4 cups buttercream frosting
- Gel food colorings (blue, green, orange, purple, and yellow)
Decoration
- 48 candy eyes
Instructions
- Divide Frosting Divide the buttercream frosting evenly into separate bowls based on the number of colors you plan to create.
- Add Coloring Add a small dab of gel food coloring to each bowl. Use a toothpick to dip into the gel and swirl it through the frosting to create vibrant colors.
- Prepare Piping Bags Transfer the colored frosting into piping bags fitted with your preferred decorating tips. Use tips from the guide for proper filling techniques.
- Decorate Cupcakes Pipe the colored frosting onto the cupcakes to form monster designs. Add candy eyes to each cupcake to complete the look.
Notes
- Keep the piping bag twisted at the top to prevent frosting from escaping.
- Periodically stop and re-twist the bag to maintain control.
- If frosting becomes too soft from hand heat, chill it in the fridge briefly to firm up.
- Imperfections on cupcake decorations add character and charm to the monsters.
- Candy eyes can be flipped to use as mouths or enhanced with contrasting frosting for extra expression.
- To change decorating tips, unscrew the coupler cap, swap the tip, and reattach the cap.
