Monster Cupcakes! For Julian's 8th birthday.
The cake is a basic vanilla cupcake from scratch (an adaptation of a recipe from Martha Stewart Kids, found online) and the icing is also vanilla-flavored (not spinach, in case you were wondering!) cream cheese and butter.
One could really go crazy here, but I tried to keep decorations as simple as possible:
--3 colors of gel-icing tubes (white, black, and red)
--candy eyes (found at Michaels Crafts, in the cake section
--red licorice laces
--M&Ms in white, black, yellow, and aqua (bulk section of the supermarket!)
--mini M&Ms
Julian got right into the decorating! I made some too... (with permission from the head artist!). They are sooo cute that I had to take pictures of them all...
I was going for scary, but this just turned out cute!
