Who could resist a cute cupcake with a skeletal frame comprised of a marshmallow skull and yogurt minis pretzel ribs supported by a lollipop stick? Whip up a batch of these bony characters with your favorite cake mix and canned frosting.
Use your favorite cake mix to create your cupcake. Just follow the directions on the box. Cool and then frost
- For the Decoration, here's what you will need:
- 18 marshmallows
- 4-in. lollipop sticks
- Black food color
- Decorating pen
- Black writing gel
- 72 yogurt-covered mini-pretzels
- To decorate: Slightly flatten marshmallows with palm of your hand. Insert a lollipop stick into each marshmallow. With the black decorating pen, draw the skeleton mouth along the bottom of each marshmallow. Draw 2 nostrils above the middle of the mouth, as shown. Make the eyes with dabs of the black writing gel.
- For each skeleton, carefully thread the stick end of the marshmallow head through the small hole of a pretzel, slowly twisting the pretzel from side to side as you push it up toward the head, stopping about 1⁄2 in. below the head. Secure the pretzel in position with a dab of frosting. Add 2 more pretzels, lining them up, to resemble the rib cage, securing with dabs of frosting. Stick the skeleton into the top of a cupcake. To make the arms, carefully cut a pretzel in half with a serrated knife and attach to the top pretzel using a dab of frosting to secure it on.
And there you have it. Isn't is "spook"tacular!
