Ingredients
Scale
Frosting
- 4 cups buttercream frosting
Decorations
- 48 candy eyes
- gel food colorings (blue, green, orange, purple, yellow)
Instructions
- Divide Frosting: Separate the buttercream frosting evenly into bowls based on how many colors you want to create.
- Color Frosting: Add a small dab of gel food coloring to each bowl. Use a toothpick to blend the color into the frosting until vibrant and evenly mixed.
- Fill Piping Bags: Transfer each colored frosting into piping bags fitted with your chosen tips for decorating.
- Decorate Cupcakes: Pipe the colorful frosting onto each cupcake in creative monster shapes and designs.
- Add Candy Eyes: Place candy eyes onto the frosted cupcakes to give each one a fun monster look.
Notes
- Keep the piping bag twisted at the top to prevent frosting from escaping.
- Retwist the bag often while piping to maintain control.
- If frosting softens too much from hand heat, chill it in the fridge for a few minutes to firm it up.
- Imperfections on cupcakes add character to the monster designs, so don’t worry about perfect piping.
- Use eyes upside down for mouths or add additional contrasting frosting details.
- To change piping tips, unscrew the coupler cap, swap tips, and re-secure the cap.
