Chef notes
These fun cupcakes use two mini doughnuts stacked on top for extra height. I love to use natural food dyes to make these a little less scary to eat!
Preparation
1.Working one at a time, spread a small amount of green buttercream all over surface of a cupcake. Top with a doughnut, then use a dab of frosting to act as glue and sandwich with another doughnut. Cover doughnuts with green buttercream. Sprinkle top of frosted doughnuts with chocolate sprinkles for hair.
2.Place 2 licorice pieces on sides of head for neck knobs. Using black and red royal icing, pipe on mouth, bangs and scar.
3.Pipe 2 large dots of white royal frosting for eyes and press in 2 M&M's.
